Development and Field Testing of a Small, Efficient, Photolytic Converter for Measurement of Ambient Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)

摘要

Measurement-based studies of the photochemical production of ozone (O3) and particulate nitrate (NO3 ) benefit from the measurement of nitrogen dioxide (NO2). In the - case of O3, photolysis of NO2 is the primary route to photochemical production. For NO_3~- , NO2 is a key species in the oxidation pathway that proceeds through nitric acid (HNO3) to NO_3~- .
