In the early days of this technology, there were many who saw the potential of these new instruments for environmental measurements and how this technology could be integrated into emissions and ambient air monitoring for the measurement of flux. However, the monitoring community did not embrace ORS as quickly as anticipated. Several factors contributing to delayed ORS use were: • Cost: The cost of these instruments made it prohibitive to purchase, operate and maintain. • Utility: Since these instruments were perceived as “black boxes.” Many instrument specialists were wary of how they worked and how the instruments generated the values. • Ease of use: Many of the early instruments required a well-trained spectroscopist who would have to spend a large amount of time to setup, operate, collect, validate and verify the data. • Data Utilization: Results from path integrated units were different from point source data which presented challenges for data use and interpretation.

Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Kimberly Halsey High-resolution mass spectrometry was used to measure a range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in real time as they were produced by the ubiquitous marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus WH8102 during a 24-hour light/dark cycle. Ethenone, acetaldehyde, ethanol, isoprene, acetic acid, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), acetone, phenol, and several as-yet unidentified compounds were measured in higher concentration in live cultures than in azide-killed cultures or sterile artificial seawater. Several compounds were found in higher concentration in the daylight part of the diel cycle than in the night, suggesting VOCs are produced during active photosynthesis.

  • Notes Acids and Bases
    Notes Acids and Bases Arrhenius Acid Base Theory: In 1884 Svante Arrhenius proposed the first theoretical model for acids and bases. Prior to that time, these chemically opposite substances were described in properties such as their taste; their effects on metals, carbonates, and dyes (called indicators); their feel to the touch, and their ability to react with each other. According to the Arrhenius theory , pure water dissociates to some extent to produce hydrogen ions, H + and hydroxide ions, OH -. When this occurs, equal amounts of H + and OH - ions are produced: + - H2O(l) H (aq) + OH (aq) An acid, according to Arrhenius, is any substance that liberates H + ions when placed in water. When the H + concentration is elevated the OH - concentration decreases, this solution is said to be acidic. Similarly, a base is defined as any substance that liberates OH - ions when placed in water. The resulting solution has a higher concentration of OH - ions than H + ions and is said to be basic, or alkaline. + - ACID: HCl (aq) H (aq) + Cl (aq) + - BASE: NaOH (aq) Na (aq) + OH (aq) Brønsted - Lowry Acid Base Theory: A more general and realistic theory was proposed by two chemists working independent of the other, Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted of Denmark and Thomas Martin Lowry of England. Both chemists are given credit; the theory is named the Brønsted-Lowry theory . Acids are defined as substances that donate H + ions, protons and therefore are called proton donators, while bases are substances that accept protons and are defined as proton acceptors. On this basis, the autoionization of water is given as follows: + - H2O(l) + H 2O(l) H3O (aq) + OH (aq) In this reaction, one water molecule donates a proton, H +, and behaves as an acid, while the other water molecule accepts the proton and behaves as a base.

Of the total BVOC estimated by the Model of Emission of Gases and Aerosols from Nature version 2.1 15 (MEGAN2.1), isoprene is estimated to comprise half, and methanol, ethanol, acetaldehyde, acetone, a-pinene, b-pinene, limonene, ethene and propene together encompass another 30%. Of the terpenoids, a-pinene alone is estimated to generate ~66 Tg year -1 (Guenther et al., 2012). These monoterpenes can be oxidized by nitrate radicals that are projected to account for more than half of the monoterpene-derived secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in the US (Pye et al., 2010). Nitrate oxidation pathways have been shown to be important particularly 20 during nighttime. A large portion (30-40%) of monoterpene emissions occur at night (Pye et al., 2010). These emissions can then react with NO3 radicals, formed from the oxidation of NO2 emissions by O3, (Pye et al., 2010).
