ABSTRACT

20

Residential wood combustion (RWC) emits high amounts of volatile organic compounds

21

(VOCs) into ambient air, leading to formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and various

22

health and climate effects. In this study, the emission factors of VOCs from a logwood-fired

23

modern masonry heater were measured using a Proton-Transfer-Reactor Time-of-Flight Mass

24

Spectrometer (PTR-ToF-MS). Next, the VOCs were aged in a 29 m3 Teflon chamber equipped

25

with UV black lights, where dark and photochemical atmospheric conditions were simulated.

26

The main constituents of the VOC emissions were carbonyls and aromatic compounds, which

27

accounted for 50%-52% and 30%-46% of the detected VOC emission, respectively. Emissions

28

were highly susceptible to different combustion conditions, which caused a 2.4-fold variation in

29

emission factors. The overall VOC concentrations declined considerably during both dark and

30

photochemical aging, with simultaneous increase in particulate organic aerosol mass. Especially

31

furanoic and phenolic compounds decreased, and they are suggested to be the major precursors

32

of RWC-originated SOA in all aging conditions. On the other hand, dark aging produced

33

relatively high amounts of nitrogen-containing organic compounds in both gas and particulate

34

phase, while photochemical aging increased especially the concentrations of certain gaseous

35

carbonyls, particularly acid anhydrides.

Environmental Science & Technology

Residential wood combustion (RWC) remains an important source of energy worldwide,

38

creating substantial gaseous and particulate emissions with adverse health and climate effects.1, 2

39

Overall, the emissions from logwood batch combustion contain high levels of particulate primary

40

organic aerosol (POA) and numerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs).3-5 The composition of

41

emissions depends on various factors, such as operating conditions, combustion technology, and

42

fuel.6-9 Furthermore, the different phases of batch combustion, including the ignition, stable, and

43

burnout phases, have distinct emission profiles.10, 11 The emissions are also transformed in the

44

atmosphere, where the predominant chemistry determines the aging processes and its products.

45

In atmosphere VOCs go through photolysis and react with atmospheric oxidants, namely, ozone

46

(O3), hydroxyl radicals (OH·), and nitrate radicals (NO3·). These reactions create secondary

47

organic aerosol (SOA), which makes up a major portion of the total particulate organic aerosol

48

(OA) mass from residential biomass combustion.12-14 In addition, oxidation transforms the POA

49

in biomass combustion plumes during aging.14-16 OH· is created from photolysis products, and it

50

governs the daytime oxidation of VOCs. O3 stems from reactions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) with

51

VOCs, and it is available throughout the day reacting mainly with unsaturated VOCs. NO3·, on

52

the other hand, is produced from O3 oxidizing NO2. It has an oxidative role mainly in dark

53

conditions, as it is very susceptible to photolysis. NO3· is, however, estimated to control the

54

nighttime oxidation of VOCs and the production of SOA from anthropogenic sources with high

55

NOx emissions.17 The proportion of VOC mass converted into particulate mass, i.e., the SOA

56

yield (∆SOA/∆VOC), depends largely on the availability of oxidants, VOC species, and the

57

amount of NOx and the initial particulate aerosol.18-20 Thus, the variability of the primary

58

emissions from wood combustion complicates the estimations of SOA formation. Furthermore,

59

the SOA yields of most of the emitted VOCs remain unassessed.3

In this study, we identify the VOC emissions from combustion of a batch of spruce logs in a

61

modern masonry heater. Two distinct ignition methods were used in order to consider different

62

combustion conditions. Particularly, the used ignition procedure affects combustion rate of batch

63

burning, which can result in different quantity and composition of emissions. Aging experiments

64

were carried out in a smog chamber with ambient dark or photochemical aging conditions. In

65

addition, the effect of diurnal, sequential aging was assessed by exposing dark aged plume to

66

photochemical aging conditions. A Proton-Transfer-Reactor Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer

67

(PTR-MS) and a variety of other aerosol and gas measurement instruments (Figure S1) were

68

used to monitor the physico-chemical evolution of the emissions and formation of secondary

69

species. In the study conducted by Tiitta et al.14 simultaneously with this study, we discovered a

70

doubling of the OA mass in both dark and photochemical conditions. In this study, we provide

71

emission factors for VOCs produced in logwood combustion, and an evaluation of their potential

72

to act as precursors for SOA.

73

MATERIALS AND METHODS

74

Combustion and sampling

75

The experiments were conducted in the ILMARI research facility at University of Eastern

76

Finland, using a 29 m3 smog chamber specifically designed for combustion aerosol aging

77

studies.21 A modern masonry heater, equipped with an air staging system, was used as the

78

combustion source.22 The experimental setup is explained in-depth in Tiitta et al.,14 and schemes

79

of the setup and the masonry heater are available in Figure S1. The chamber in use is a deflatable

80

Teflon chamber, with a movable top ensuring constant overpressure in the chamber to prevent

81

the aging sample from being diluted or contaminated. The design of the chamber is described in

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Environmental Science & Technology

82

detail in Leskinen et al.21 Prior to each experiment, the chamber was flushed with purified air for

83

16 hours. In the photochemical aging experiments, ambient-like UV-irradiance of 29.7 Wm-2

84

was created with 47 blacklight lamps (Sylvania F 40 W/350 BL lamps) with irradiance centered

85

at 350 nm. The temperature in the chamber was 18±2 °C and relative humidity (RH) 60±5%,

86

which are representative of atmospheric conditions (Willet et al 2014).23 The experimental

87

conditions in the five experiments are described in Table 1.

88

In each experiment, ten 235 g logs of spruce (Picea abies) were laid crosswise and ignited

89

from the top using 150 g of wood sticks as kindling. The experiments were carried out with two

90

different kindling sizes, in order to produce varying combustion conditions. For slow ignition

91

(SI) the sticks were twice the size of fast ignition (FI) kindling. The sampling of the combustion

92

lasted 35 minutes, from cold-start ignition to the residual char burning of one batch.

93

A multicomponent Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR, Gasmet Technologies

94

Inc.) was incorporated to the stack to characterize the contents of the fresh exhaust. The FTIR

95

measurements included online monitoring of O2, CO2, CO, NO, NO2, CH4, and 28 organic

96

compounds typical for combustion (Table S3). The exhaust was sampled throughout the

97

combustion period with a PM10 pre-cyclone and a heated (150 °C) probe. Sample was diluted

98

with clean air of ambient temperature with a porous tube diluter followed by an ejector diluter

99

(DI-1000, Dekati Ltd). The prediluted sample was continuously led to the chamber pre-filled

100

with clean air. Final dilution ratio (DR) in the chamber was 229-266. The degree of dilution was

101

defined from CO2 concentrations in the raw gas (FTIR), in the sampling line (ABB CO2

102

analyzer), and in the chamber (Vaisala GMP 343, Finland). The concentrations of NOx and O3 in

103

the chamber were also continuously traced (Figure S7). Once chamber was filled, the uniform

104

mixing of the sample was guaranteed with a 40-minute stabilization period.

Aging procedure

106

After stabilization, ozone was injected into the chamber to oxidize all NO in the chamber into

107

NO2. In the three experiments with dark (D) aging (FI-D-PcA, FI-D-HONO and SI-D-PcA) the

108

initial O3 concentration was adjusted to 40 ppb. The samples were then aged in the dark for four

109

hours before turning the blacklights on for three hours for photochemical aging (PcA). In

110

experiments FI-PcA and SI-PcA the photochemical aging was initiated directly after NO

111

oxidation, and continued for four hours. The levels of NOx and O3 in the chamber are shown in

112

Figure S7. In experiment FI-D-HONO, nitrous acid (HONO) was added into the chamber prior

113

to photochemical aging to enhance OH production and simulate conditions with high amounts of

114

oxidants. Simultaneously, propene was added to the chamber. Consequently, the VOC:NOx ratio

115

remained similar to the ratio before HONO addition.

116

The OH exposure in the chamber was traced by injecting 1 µl (approximately 9 ppb) of

117

butanol-d9 into the chamber and monitoring its decay during experiments.24 The extent of

118

photochemical aging is portrayed as atmospheric hours (atm. h), which corresponds to hours

119

spent in ambient atmosphere with average OH concentration of 1E6 cm-3.

120

Measurements in the chamber

121

The VOCs were monitored with a high-resolution Proton-Transfer-Reactor Time-of-Flight

122

Mass Spectrometer (PTR-TOF 8000, Ionicon Analytik, Innsbruck, Austria) with H3O+ as reagent

123

ion. The data were analyzed with the Ionicon Analytik GmbH software (PTR MS Viewer,

124

version 3.2.0). Calibration and use of PTR-MS is described in Section S1. The ratio of electric

125

field to gas density in drift tube (E/N) was 132 Td. When available, reaction rates from Cappellin

126

et al.25 for E/N 120 Td were applied in peak data analysis; for the other 77% of compounds,

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

127

which covered approximately 30% of total emission factor, the reaction rate was assumed to be

128

2E9 cm3 s-1 (Table S4). Fragmentation of VOCs in PTR-MS is discussed in Section S2. Due to

129

the complexity and mostly minor effect of fragmentation, we only applied fragmentation

130

correction (correction factor 2.1) for monoterpenes. The PTR-MS measurement of FI-D-PcA

131

was excluded due to contamination of the instrument.

132

Background concentrations in the chamber (Table S6) were determined for each experiment by

133

monitoring the chamber before sample input. The detection limits of PTR-MS for each peak

134

were set at three times the standard deviation during the background measurement. The

135

measured compounds were background-corrected, identified based on ion chemical formulas and

136

previous combustion studies, and grouped based on their chemical composition (Tables S4 and

137

S6).4, 5, 9, 26 Emission factors (EFs) were calculated following the procedure explained in Section

138

S6. To portray the different speeds of reactions in the chamber during aging treatments, we

139

calculated the times (t-50%, minutes in chamber and atm. h for photochemical aging) when half

140

of the change in concentration had taken place for each compound and group.

141

The particulate-phase OA concentration and composition in the chamber was measured with a

142

Soot Particle Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (SP-HR-ToF-AMS, Aerodyne Research Inc).27 The

143

processing and results of the AMS measurement are described in Tiitta et al.14 The number and

144

surface area concentrations of particles in the size range 13.9-749.9 nm were measured with a

145

Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS 3080, CPC 3022, TSI), while a Tapered Element

146

Oscilliating Microbalance (TEOM, Model 1405, Thermo Scientific) was used for measuring the

147

total particulate mass in the chamber. Estimations of SOA yields during aging are based on

148

studies utilizing, e.g., the two-product model by Odum et al.28 See Section S2 for further

149

information on SOA yield estimations.

150

In FI-D-PcA, FI-D-HONO, SI-D-PcA, and FI-PcA, offline particulate samples were collected

151

on quartz fiber filters (T-293, Munktell, Sweden). A flow rate of 0.2 lpm was fed to filters from

152

the chamber for 35 minutes during the stabilization period, 90 minutes at the end of dark aging,

153

and 90 minutes at the end of photochemical aging. The nitrophenol contents of the samples were

154

analyzed with in situ derivatization thermal desorption gas chromatography and time-of-flight

155

mass spectrometry (IDTD-GC-TOFMS).29

156

Deposition of aerosols onto walls of the chamber is a disadvantage for every environmental

157

chamber.30, 31 Wall loss correction for the particle concentration was estimated based on the

158

decay of refractory black carbon.14 Gas-to-wall losses are, however, more challenging to

159

estimate although they may have a noticeable effect on formation of SOA. To assess gas-to-wall

160

losses, we calculated the condensation sinks caused by the particles (CS) in the chamber,32 which

161

were high throughout the experiments (0.14-0.26 s-1; Figure S8). These sinks are two orders of

162

magnitude higher than gas-to-wall losses determined by Ye et al.33 for a 10 m3 Teflon chamber.

163

Furthermore, the ILMARI chamber is considerably larger and has a low surface-to-volume-ratio

164

(58 m2:29 m3). As a conclusion, we estimate the losses onto walls to be minor compared to the

165

condensation onto particles.

166

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

167

Primary emission factors

168

In total, 105 ions were observed from the chamber with PTR-MS (Figure 1). The EFs of all the

169

observed ions are available in Table S4. Carbonyls and aromatic compounds had the highest

170

emission factors, and have also previously been widely reported as the major VOC groups in

171

RWC emissions.34-36 Aromatics were divided into four groups: aromatic hydrocarbons, furans,

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

8

Environmental Science & Technology

172

phenols, and other oxygenated aromatics. Carbonyls, on the other hand, were divided into two

173

groups (Carbonyls-A and -B) based on their behavior during aging.

174

VOC emissions from RWC were clearly affected by the change in ignition procedure, with SI

175

emitting, in total, 2.4 times higher concentration of the VOCs detected with PTR-MS than FI.

176

This difference was clearly observed in the time-dependent measurement of VOCs (Figure S2) in

177

which SI was characterized by a longer ignition period with enhanced VOC emissions. Between

178

the 11 VOC groups, the ratio of the EFs from SI to the EFs from FI (SI/FI-ratio) ranged between

179

1.5 for nitrogen containing compounds to 2.7 for furanoic compounds and 3.4 for aliphatic

180

hydrocarbons. Also the 28 VOCs measured with FTIR from the fresh exhaust during combustion

181

(Table S3, Figure S6) clearly increased due to slower ignition. The total FTIR-based SI/FI-ratio

182

was 1.7, with especially oxidized compounds increasing as they peaked at the end of ignition

183

phase (SI/FI ratio 2.4, Figure S5). The total duration of the combustion cycle was longer in SI

184

experiments, compared to the FI experiments where no flames were visible at the end of the 35

185

minute sampling period.

186

Overall, the VOCs measured with PTR-MS had considerably smaller EFs than previously

187

measured from logwood combustion in less advanced residential combustion appliances,5, 34, 36

188

but were in line with previous studies of the same appliance.11, 22 The average modified

189

combustion efficiencies (MCE) during batch combustion were between 0.96-0.98 (Table 1,

190

Figure S3), indicating good operation of the stove and, consequently, relatively efficient

191

combustion conditions for a logwood operated appliance. However, note that the MCE did not

192

correlate with the VOC emissions, which is in agreement with earlier studies.5, 37

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

9

Environmental Science & Technology

193

Page 10 of 38

Carbonyls were the most abundant group in fresh emissions, with both the highest

194

concentration and the highest number of identified compounds. Acetaldehyde (m/z 45.03) and

195

acetic acid and glycolaldehyde (both at m/z 61.03), accounted for over a fifth of the total

196

identified VOC EF. They have been the main carbonyls also in previous studies, where carbonyls

197

such as ketones and acids routinely dominate VOC emissions.5, 9, 11 Based on FTIR-

198

measurements, the formaldehyde EF was 31-35 mg kg-1 for FI experiments, and 59-72 mg kg-1

199

for SI experiments. While the formaldehyde peak at m/z 31.02 was strongly visible in the PTR-

200

MS spectrum, the humidity-dependence in PTR-MS impedes its quantification.38 Omitting

201

formaldehyde, our PTR-MS based carbonyl EF (55-58 for FI, 120-140 mg kg-1 for SI), is

202

consistent with previous determinations,22 and accounts for 44%-51% of the identified VOC

203

emission. Reda et al.22 identified 12 gaseous carbonyls with gas chromatography−selective ion

204

monitoring−mass spectrometry (GC-SIM-MS) from the same appliance. The total EF of those

205

carbonyls from spruce combustion was 171±19 mg kg-1, of which formaldehyde accounted for

206

108±9.5 mg kg-1.

207

Benzene was clearly the most prominent aromatic compound with an EF of 10.6-22.3 mg kg-1.

208

The EFs of the naphthalene and toluene were 23%-30% and 19%-23% of the benzene EFs, with

209

higher shares in slow ignition cases. Interestingly, alkylbenzenes had higher SI/FI-ratios than

210

benzene. We also observed substantial emission of furans, which is a relatively little studied

211

group despite its abundance in RWC emissions.3, 9, 11 With the same appliance and fuel, Czech et

212

al.40 found furanoic compounds releasing during both ignition and stable combustion phases, as

213

they form during pyrolysis of the cellulose in the burned wood. Concentrations of furanoic

214

compounds approached that of aromatic hydrocarbons, especially in SI experiments. Furanoic

215

emission was dominated by furfural, which was the second most emitted of all aromatic

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

10

Page 11 of 38

Environmental Science & Technology

216

compounds, with an EF of 3.2-10.3 mg kg-1. It was emitted 1.75-2.29 times than the furan

217

emission (EF 1.4-5.1 mg kg-1). While the EFs of furanoic compounds are considerably (2-100

218

times) lower than in e.g. Bruns et al.5 and Hatch et al.3, the ratios between the concentrations of

219

these different furanoic compounds remain remarkably similar.

220

Phenols were relatively susceptible to changing combustion conditions (SI/FI-ratio 2.3). The

221

main phenolic compounds were phenol and benzenediols, followed by cresols and guaiacol, with

222

EFs of 3.7-9.3, 2.1-5.6, 1.3-3.8, and 0.8-2.9 mg kg-1, respectively. Phenolic compounds are

223

generally formed from thermal decomposition of lignin and have also previously been assessed

224

as a significant constituent of biomass burning emissions.5, 9, 26 Nitrogen-containing VOCs

225

(NVOCs) in the fresh emission were scarce, and relatively unaffected by combustion conditions.

226

Overall, the SI/FI-ratios of NVOC groups were lower (1.5-1.6) than for other compound groups.

227

The most prevalent NVOC was CH3NO2 (e.g. nitromethane or methyl nitrite, EF 7.7-11.9 mg kg-

228

1

229

nitrophenols (EF 0.5-0.6 mg kg-1) had an SI/FI-ratio of 0.8.

), which has not been observed in prior studies. It had an SI/FI-ratio of 1.3, while, for example,

230

Monoterpenes and cyclopentadiene were the most abundant of the aliphatic hydrocarbons

231

detected with PTR-MS, with EFs 0.6-3.4 and 0.6-1.6 mg kg-1, respectively. The measured

232

monoterpenes may include at least 32 possible isomers previously identified from combustion of

233

coniferous wood.26 The emissions of the numerous isomers depend highly on conditions, such as

234

the fuel and appliance in use.9, 26 For example. Bruns et al.5 found no monoterpenes with PTR-

235

MS from stable phase of beech log combustion. The ignition conditions had a major effect on

236

monoterpene emissions, which had one of the highest SI/FI-ratios (4.2) of all the identified,

237

individual VOCs. This could be due to evaporation of monoterpenes during ignition of the

238

logwood batch, which was longer in SI experiments. Similar condition dependence has

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

11

Environmental Science & Technology

Page 12 of 38

239

previously been seen by, e.g., Stockwell et al.,9 who found open cooking to emit 20 times more

240

monoterpenes than a more developed appliance.

241

Transformation of VOCs during dark aging

242

The concentrations of most compound groups decreased upon exposure to ozone and NO3·

243

(Figures 2 and 3, Table S6). During the dark aging experiments, the most extensive decay was

244

observed for phenolic and furanoic compounds. The t-50% for phenolic compounds was 32-50

245

minutes, and after four hours of dark aging only 13%-20% of the phenolic mass remained.

246

Concentrations of furanoic compounds, on the other hand, decreased to 59%-63% of the initial

247

concentration, with t-50% of 43-48 minutes. As the reaction rates of phenolic and furanoic

248

compounds with ozone are very slow, NO3· is estimated to be their main oxidant in dark

249

conditions (Table S8).39, 40

250

The reactions of hydrocarbons in dark conditions were relatively quick, with t-50%s of 25 and

251

22 minutes for aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, respectively. Unsaturated hydrocarbons

252

diminished completely during dark aging. For example, monoterpenes had t-50% of 17-27

253

minutes and were below the detection limit after an hour of dark aging, most likely due to NO3·

254

driven reactions (Table S8). Aromatic hydrocarbons were clearly more prone to react if they had

255

alkyl substituents: toluene and naphthalene decreased by a third during dark aging, where

256

naphthalene had also the highest absolute decrease (0.7-1.2 µg m-3). This is in line with their

257

faster reaction rates towards NO3· and O3 than benzene (Table S8), which did also decrease

258

noticeably (0.8-1.1 µg m-3) although the changes relative to initial concentrations were low.

259 260

We witnessed substantial formation of nitrogen-containing VOCs (with m/z>100) during dark aging. Nitrophenols in the gas phase (C6H5NO3-H+, m/z 140.03) increased by 1-2 µg m-3 in the

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

12

Page 13 of 38

Environmental Science & Technology

261

chamber, leading to a 290%-650% increase relative to the mass concentrations in the fresh

262

sample. The production of nitrophenols was confirmed from the filter samples, which show their

263

mass in particulate phase increasing by 530% of the initial concentration in SI-D-PcA, and by

264

640% in FI-D-HONO (Table S5). Furthermore, formation of particulate organonitrate

265

compounds was indicated by the AMS results.16 In addition to the nitrogenated compounds

266

observed in the fresh emissions, new NVOCs with ion formulas such as C5H9NO-H+ (m/z

267

100.07) and C5H7NO2-H+ (m/z 114.05) formed during dark aging. Generally, NVOCs, and their

268

particulate counterparts, may originate from reactions of NO3· with, e.g., phenolic compounds or

269

methylfurans,41-43 or reactions of NO2 with compounds originating from aromatic VOCs.44 While

270

biomass combustion has been associated with the organic nitrogen compounds in nighttime

271

ambient air in, for instance, Germany,45 United Kingdom,46 and Australia,47 this study is among

272

the first to track the formation of gaseous nitrogen-containing organic compounds from wood

273

combustion emissions.

274

Transformation of VOCs during photochemical aging

275

The exposure to OH· in the chamber during photochemical aging was equivalent to exposures

276

of 14 and 18 atm. h for SI-PcA and FI-PcA, respectively. This, together with the enhanced

277

ozonolysis, rapidly transformed the VOCs in the chamber (Figures 2 and 3, Table S7). In both

278

FI-D-PcA and SI-D-PcA the OH· exposure corresponded to 14 atm. h after three hours of

279

photochemical aging. The VOCs remaining after dark aging in SI-D-PcA behaved similarly to

280

the experiments with only photochemical aging (Figure 3) and had similar t-50%s (Table S7). In

281

FI-D-HONO, we tested the effect of HONO and propene on photochemical aging. The amount

282

of OH· was expected to increase due to the addition of HONO and propene, as they are often

283

used to accelerate atmospheric oxidation in chamber studies. Their addition expectedly led to

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

13

Page 14 of 38

284

high concentrations of NOx and VOCs, namely, carbonyls such as acetaldehyde and

285

hydroxypropanone. However, the OH· exposure in FI-D-HONO corresponded to only 7 atm. h,

286

indicating a decline in OH· availability. This may be due to propene reducing the availability of

287

oxidants and consequently slowing the degradation of VOCs, as was suggested by Song et al.48

288

Aromatic compounds went through a major decay during photochemical aging (Table S7), as

289

they are highly reactive towards OH· (Table S8). Aromatic hydrocarbons, furanoic compounds,

290

phenolic compounds, and other oxygen containing aromatic compounds decreased by 32%, 70%,

291

80%, and 34% from their initial concentrations, respectively. These changes had t-50%s of 15,

292

18, 14 and 27 minutes, respectively, which correspond to 3.7, 4.5, 3.8 and 6.1 atm. h. Similarly,

293

aliphatic hydrocarbons decreased considerably, with t-50% of 10-16 minutes (2.4-4.6 atm. h.)

294

and only 22% of concentration remaining at the fourth hour of photochemical aging. Degradation

295

of aromatic compounds was clearly suppressed in the photochemical aging during the FI-D-

296

HONO-experiment, where the conversion of especially phenols and aromatic hydrocarbons was

297

restrained. The degradation of furanoic compounds during photochemical aging also slowed

298

down due to HONO+propene addition, although they were the least affected by this change in

299

chemistry.

300

The photooxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons may also lead to formation of additional

301

phenols, especially in high-NOx conditions.49 Additionally, the formation of NVOCs in

302

photochemical conditions, when not preceded by dark aging, may originate from reactions of

303

OH· with aromatic hydrocarbons and phenols in the presence of NOx.49, 50 In SI-D-PcA, phenolic

304

compounds had already been consumed by dark aging, and the increase in NVOCs was

305

negligible during photochemical aging, although particulate nitrophenols increased considerably.

Carbonyls had distinct transformation patterns under photochemical conditions. The

307

‘Carbonyls-A’ group decreased by 25%-55%, with some of the most prevalent carbonyls, such

308

as acrolein (m/z 57.03) and methyl vinyl ketone and methacrolein (both at m/z 71.05), decaying

309

by half. While the total concentration of carbonyls decreased, photochemical aging increased

310

concentrations of the ‘Carbonyls-B’ group, which consists of, e.g., acid anhydrides. This

311

enhancement was highest for acetic acid, which increased by 2.7 µg m-3 (+19%) and 5.4 µg m-3

312

(+13%) and maleic anhydride, increasing by 1.7 µg m-3 (+82%) and 5.6 µg m-3 (+64%) in FI-

313

PcA and SI-PcA, respectively. Most of the increase of Carbonyls-B took place during the first

314

24-41 minutes of photochemical aging (5.9-6.9 atm. h). Overall, the formation of these carbonyls

315

was most rapid at the beginning of photochemical aging, simultaneous with the decline of

316

aromatic compounds, which are potential precursors for carbonyl production.51, 52 However, the

317

increase continued throughout the experiments, and for example degradation of SOA may also

318

have participated in the formation of volatile organic acids.53

319

Fate of organic emissions under different conditions

320

Overall SOA yields. During dark aging, the particulate OA in the chamber increased by 14.9,

321

15.4 and 26.1 µg m-3 in FI-D-PcA, FI-D-HONO and SI-D-PcA, respectively, leading to OA

322

concentrations 1.6-1.7 times the initial concentrations (Figure S9). Simultaneously, the total

323

concentration of the VOCs measured with PTR-MS decreased by 20.7 µg m-3 (FI-D-HONO) and

324

56.0 µg m-3 (SI-D-PcA) indicating a total SOA yield of 47%-74% during dark aging if only the

325

identified compounds are considered. However, these values do not include, for instance, larger

326

compounds out of the mass range of PTR-MS.

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

327

The OA mass increase during photochemical aging was 14.5 and 39.1 µg m-3 in FI-PcA and

328

SI-PcA, respectively, while the observed VOCs decreased by 19.3 and 47.3 µg m-3. This led to

329

final OA concentrations of 1.7 and 2.1 times the initial concentrations and total SOA yields of

330

75% and 83% for the observed VOCs, whereas the two-product parameters proposed by Barsanti

331

et al.54 result in estimated yield of 70%. During the photochemical aging of SI-D-PcA, SOA

332

increased by 22.6 µg m-3, while the identified VOCs decreased by 31.1 µg m-3 (SOA yield 73%).

333

During photochemical aging in FI-D-HONO, the mass of OA increased to 1.6 times the initial

334

OA (+13.8 µg m-3), similarly to FI-D-PcA . This SOA was, however, clearly more oxidized than

335

in other experiments with a final oxidation state of 0.6, while other experiments resulted in final

336

oxidation states between 0.1-0.3.14 The observed high oxidation state can also partly be due to

337

POA oxidizing more completely in FI-D-HONO than in other experiments. The addition of

338

propene seems to limit SOA formation, due to propene consuming oxidants without formation of

339

SOA.48, 55 At the same time, the conversion of some of the precursors, such as aromatic

340

compounds, was repressed. This points to fewer, but more oxidized reaction products

341

partitioning to particulate phase.

342

Effect of experimental conditions. The amount of SOA produced in this study is similar to

343

those from RWC of beech and various other fuels.12, 13, 60 However, SOA emissions from RWC

344

vary depending on both combustion and experimental conditions. For example, aging of an

345

exhaust from a complete batch is likely to differ from aging of separate phases of combustion.60

346

The ignition phase typically generates a major part of the VOC emissions , which leads to major

347

difference between this study and, for example, Bruns et al.,61 where only the stable phase of

348

beech-log combustion was considered. In order to fully grasp the SOA potential of RWC, a

349

broader set of conditions, together with a larger selection of appliances, fuels and operating

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

16

Page 17 of 38

Environmental Science & Technology

350

practices, should be assessed. Furthermore, the setup of the experiments influences SOA

351

production: for example, the dilution of the exhaust affects the partitioning of compounds and

352

the formation SOA.62 DR of experiments (229-266) remain lower than in most ambient plumes,

353

where the dilution after a few hours can range from 10E5.62 Dilution enhances

354

evaporation of OA, and low dilution may lead to overestimation of POA.63 In contrast, high

355

dilution can enhance SOA formation due to reactions of the evaporated precursors.62

356

The formation of SOA was enhanced in SI experiments, due to the higher amount of initial

357

precursors and seed particles (M0 in Table 1). The transformation rates of VOCs, however, were

358

generally similar in both SI and FI (Figure 3). Furthermore, the different SI/FI-ratios led to

359

differences in the relative proportions of compounds groups; for example, furanoic compounds

360

were more and phenolic compounds less prevailing in SI experiments. The prevalent chemistry

361

was further impacted by differences in the VOC:NOx-ratios, which were higher in SI

362

experiments.

363

In this study, all NO was oxidized into NO2 prior to the aging procedures, which influences

364

the reaction pathways of VOCs.20 According to other studies, the relatively high NOx

365

concentration and low NO:NO2–ratio enhance SOA formation from aldehydes and furanoic

366

compounds,56, 57 while high-NOx may suppress SOA formation from other precursors, such as

367

aromatic hydrocarbons or α-pinene.58-59 Furthermore, the relatively high condensation sinks of

368

the existing particulate matter may lead to higher SOA yields in this study, compared to studies

369

with less seed particles or a smaller chamber, where more VOCs condense on the walls instead

370

of the particles.

Phenolic compounds. Phenol was one of the major single precursors for SOA in both dark and

372

photochemical aging. In addition to its high decay rate, the decrease of phenolic compounds

373

during dark aging correlated with the formation of the portion of SOA initiated by NO3· (R2

374

0.98-0.99, Figure S10). Furthermore, the strong increase in nitrophenols in both particulate and

375

gas phases indicates that the phenolic compounds are important precursors for nitrogen

376

containing SOA. In photochemical low-NOx conditions, the SOA yield of phenol has been

377

assessed to be approximately 40%.64, 65 Conservatively estimating, phenol would account for

378

5%-9% of the measured photochemical SOA, although the higher NOx may enhance the yield. In

379

addition, we propose cresols and benzenediols as important precursors for SOA due to their high

380

decay rates and relatively high SOA yields: around 40% for cresols,66 and 39% for the

381

benzenediol catechol,65 and they are estimated to produce 1.5%-1.6% and 2.5%-3.2% of the total

382

SOA, respectively. In total, if all phenolic compounds would have a SOA yield of 40%, their

383

transformation would explain 12%-14% of all photochemical SOA. This is noticeably less than

384

in Bruns et al.,61 who found phenol alone to account for, on average, 26% of SOA formation

385

from the stable phase of RWC batch with slightly higher NOx concentrations.

386

Furanoic compounds. During photochemical aging, the absolute decrease of furanoic

387

compounds was slightly higher than that of phenolic compounds. In dark conditions their decay

388

correlated with the increase of NO3·-initiated SOA (R2 0.94-0.95, Figure S10), and, supported by

389

Hatch et al.,3 we propose furanoic compounds as a potential major group of SOA precursors in

390

both aging modes. However, the SOA yields of, for instance, furfural and methylfurans should

391

be confirmed in order to ascertain the impact of their conversion in the atmosphere.

392 393

Aromatic hydrocarbons are well-recognized SOA precursors under photochemical conditions.58, 67 Benzene and naphthalene had the highest absolute decay rates, and can be

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

18

Page 19 of 38

Environmental Science & Technology

394

considered the most important SOA precursors of aromatic hydrocarbons, as the SOA yields of

395

aromatics have been reported to decrease with increasing amounts of alkyl groups.68 We estimate

396

the SOA yield of naphthalene during photooxidation to be 37% in all experiments, and the yield

397

of benzene to range from 55% in FI-PcA to 61% in SI-PcA, based on the two-product parameters

398

presented by Barsanti et al.54 and Ng et al.58 See Section S3 for information on the procedure on

399

yield estimation. The contributions of benzene and naphthalene to SOA formation under

400

photochemical conditions were similar: benzene accounted for 1.9%-2.6%, naphthalene for

401

1.9%-3.3% of the SOA, with higher relative contributions in the fast ignition experiment.

402

However, since the SOA yield of aromatic hydrocarbons depends on humidity, the relatively

403

high RH likely enhanced their SOA yield in these experiments.69-71

404

Monoterpenes were the major aliphatic SOA precursors observed. According to literature, the

405

SOA precursor potentials of monoterpenes are strongly dependent on NOx level under both dark

406

and photochemical conditions, and their yields are very structure-dependent, especially from

407

reactions with NO3·.72-75 Thus, estimating the SOA formation from monoterpenes is

408

complicated; see Section S3 for further information. Combining the isomer distribution presented

409

by Hatch et al.26 for black spruce with the SOA yield evaluations for monoterpenes+NO3·

410

collected by Ng et al.76, we estimate monoterpenes to account for 0.7% to 1.4% of SOA in FI-D-

411

HONO and SI-D-PcA, respectively. In photochemical conditions, we estimate that monoterpenes

412

provided 1%-3% of SOA, based on yields reported by Lee et al.77

413

Assessing the SOA formation in the atmosphere based on VOC decay is limited by unknown

414

precursors and the diversity of yields in different conditions. There is a particular lack of

415

information on SOA yields under dark conditions. However, based on these results, the major

416

SOA precursors from residential wood combustion are surprisingly similar in both night- and

417

daytime: namely, furans and phenols. On the other hand, we observed that the products of VOC

418

transformation can differ under different atmospheric conditions. In particular, we found

419

relatively high production of nitrogen-containing VOCs especially during dark aging, while acid

420

anhydrides were more prominent in photochemical aging. These changes may also alter the

421

health effects of the emissions. Sequential photooxidation of the dark aged exhaust showed that

422

changes in ambient chemistry may renew VOC decay and enhance SOA production of biomass

423

exhaust hours after being emitted. The considerable increase of organic aerosol and several

424

gaseous carbonyls upon atmospheric aging may significantly change the potential of residential

425

wood combustion to cause adverse health and climate effects. Therefore, it is highly important to

426

consider also the transformation of emissions in ambient air in order to evaluate the effects of

427

emissions on air quality and public health.
