Multiphase reactivity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is driven by phase separation and diffusion limitations [Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences]

Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a key polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) often associated with soot particles coated by organic compounds, is a known carcinogen and mutagen. When mixed with organics, the kinetics and mechanisms of chemical transformations of BaP by ozone in indoor and outdoor environments are still not fully elucidated. Using direct...
