A Simple Kinetic Model to describe the Nucleation of Aerosol Formed in the Ozonolysis of Terpenes A contribution to subproject CMD Stephan Koch, Richard Winterhalter, Peter Neeb and Geert K Moortgat Max-Planck-Institut far Chemie, Division of Atmospheric Chemistry, P.O. Box 3060, D-5 50 20 Mainz, Germany Introduction Dicarboxylic acids are suggested to play a key role in the formation of secondary organic aerosol formed in the gas phase ozonolysis of terpenes (Winterhalter et al, 1998). For example, the ozonolysis of (3-pinene leads to the formation of pinic acid which has been detected in filter samples of the aerosol with a yield of 3 %. o, —> -> LI ^ "COOH P-pinene pinic acid Due to the lack of th
