sources,1-5 and may also be formed in situ in the atmosphere as products of the atmospheric transformations of other VOCs. On a worldwide basis, emission of VOCs from biogenic sources (mainly vegetation) dominates, with estimated emissions being 1150 Tg (C) per year from vegetation2 and ∼100 Tg (C) per year from anthropogenic sources.1 Although on a worldwide basis VOCs from biogenic sources dominate over those from anthropogenic sources by a factor of ∼10, in urban areas anthropogenic VOCs often dominate. The major classes of emitted VOCs are alkanes, alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, and oxygenated compounds, with vegetative emissions typically being composed of alkenes (isoprene, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes) and oxygenated VOCs (including 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, acetone, methanol, cis-3-hexen1-ol, cis-3-hexenyl acetate, and camphor)2,3,6 and anthropogenic emissions resulting from vehicle emissions (comprising mainly gasoline constituents, including, in the U.S., the ethanol and methyl tert-butyl ether oxygenates added to the fuel) and emissions from, for example, landfills, refineries, petrochemical sources, solvent usage, and industrial facilities. In urban air in cities such as Los Angeles, CA and Boston, MA, the nonmethane VOCs are typically made up of the following: alkanes, 40-45%; alkenes, 10%; aromatic hydrocarbons, 20%; and oxygenates, 10-15%; plus unidentified VOCs.7,8 As noted, the alkane and aromatic hydrocarbon fractions of these urban air nonmethane VOCs often have a composition generally similar to that of gasoline. In the atmosphere, VOCs from both anthropogenic and biogenic sources undergo a number of physical and chemical processes leading to their removal from the atmosphere or transformation in the atmosphere.9 Physical removal of VOCs to the earth’s surface may occur by dry deposition and wet deposition. These processes have been discussed in detail elsewhere10,11 and are not dealt with here. The chemical processes leading to the atmospheric degradation of VOCs are the subject of this article.

In the troposphere, VOCs are transformed by the chemical processes of photolysis (at wavelengths >290 nm because shorter wavelengths are absorbed by O2 and O3 in the stratosphere), reaction with the hydroxyl (OH) radical (typically during daylight hours), reaction with the nitrate (NO3) radical during

Roger Atkinson was born in the U.K. and received a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Cambridge in 1969. He is presently a Research Chemist at the Air Pollution Research Center and Distinguished Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and the Department of Chemistry at the University of California at Riverside.

Janet Arey received a B. S. in Chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1971 and a Ph.D. in Environmental Health Sciences from the University of Michigan in 1980. She is presently a Research Chemist at the Air Pollution Research Center and Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of California at Riverside.

evening and nighttime hours, reaction with O3, and in coastal and marine areas reaction with Cl atoms during daylight hours.9 The sources of OH radicals, NO3 radicals, Cl atoms, and O3 in the troposphere are discussed elsewhere9,12 and hence are not dealt with here. Rate constants for the gas-phase reactions of alkanes, alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, hydroperoxides, selected ethers, and alkyl nitrates are listed in Table 1 (OH radical reactions), Table 2 (O3 reactions), and Table 3 (NO3 radical reactions). All of the alkanes, alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, aldehydes (RCHO, where R ) alkyl or aryl), ketones (RC(O)R′, where R and R′ are alkyl), alcohols (ROH, where R ) alkyl), hydroperoxides, and alkyl nitrates for which apparently reliable data are available are included in Tables 1-3. Also included in these tables are rate data for the unsaturated carbonyls methyl vinyl ketone, methacrolein, and 3-isopropenyl-6-oxo-heptanal, and the dicarbonyls glyoxal, methylglyoxal, pinonaldehyde, and caronaldehyde. The rate constants and temperature-dependent parameters listed in Tables 1-3 are, wherever pos-

sible, taken from reviews and evaluations.8,13-16,29,30 Temperature-dependent rate expressions are given as the Arrhenius expression, k ) Ae-B/T, or (especially for the reactions of OH radicals with alkanes) as the three-parameter expression k ) ATne-B/T, with n often being set at 2.13,29,30 For VOCs not included in these reviews and evaluations8,13-16,29,30 or for which new data now exist that supersede previous recommendations, data are listed in Tables 1-3 from selected, apparently reliable, studies. Data obtained from relative rate studies have been reevaluated, when necessary, to be consistent with recent recommendations for the reference compound(s) used. It needs to be pointed out that the rate data for those VOCs in Tables 1-3 not referenced to the recent reviews and evaluations of Atkinson,13 Calvert et al.,8,15 and IUPAC16 have not undergone recent critical evaluation. Thus, for the VOCs reviewed and evaluated by Atkinson29,30 (and even for certain VOCs included in Calvert et al.8,15), rate constants obtained from relative rate studies may require reevaluation. Rate constants for the reactions of a VOC with OH radicals, NO3 radicals, Cl atoms, and O3 can be combined with measured, computed, or estimated tropospheric concentrations of OH radicals, NO3 radicals, Cl atoms, and O3 to provide lifetimes of the VOC with respect to each of these potential transformation processes. Such calculated lifetimes depend on the temperature (or, equivalently, altitude) assumed, and on the concentrations of OH radicals, NO3 radicals, Cl atoms, and O3 used. Additionally, absorption cross-sections and photolysis quantum yields (both as a function of wavelength) can be combined with the actinic flux (again as a function of wavelength) to obtain the photolysis rate of the VOC (if it absorbs at wavelengths >290 nm and has a nonzero quantum yield for chemical change). Table 4 gives calculated lower tropospheric (298 K) lifetimes of selected VOCs from anthropogenic and biogenic sources with respect to reaction with OH radicals, NO3 radicals, and O3. Additionally, as noted above, certain VOCs (formaldehyde and acetone among those listed in Table 1) undergo photolysis. It should be recognized that Cl atom reactions may also be an important VOC transformation process in certain locales such as in the Arctic troposphere during springtime, and possibly in some coastal regions.60 However, on a global basis Cl atom reactions are believed to be of minor importance as a VOC loss process61-63 and, therefore, are not included in this article. For those interested, the kinetics and initial reaction mechanisms of the reactions of Cl atoms with eC4 VOCs are evaluated on an ongoing basis by the NASA64 and IUPAC16 evaluations, and rate constants for reactions of Cl atoms with alkanes and alkenes (as of 1997) are listed in Atkinson.14 Because the temperature in the troposphere varies from ∼200 K (upper troposphere) to ∼300 K (lower troposphere), it is desirable to have kinetic data over this temperature range. Furthermore, as noted below for alkenes and, especially, aromatic hydrocarbons, useful mechanistic information can be obtained for the OH radical reactions from kinetic studies conducted at elevated temperatures (>600 K in the case

2.2. Reaction Mechanisms Whereas the reaction mechanism occurring in the troposphere after initial reaction of a VOC with OH

radicals, NO3 radicals, Cl atoms, and O3, or after photodissociation, depends on the specific VOC, in most cases the reaction mechanism involves formation (at least in part) of an alkyl or substituted alkyl radical (for example, hydroxyalkyl, nitrooxyalkyl [containing an -ONO2 group], or oxoalkyl [containing
