Photochemical reactions of aqueous-phase chromophores are sources of oxidants to atmospheric condensed phases. Chromophores formed during combustion and tropospheric oxidation include: biacetyl, iron(III)-dicarboxylate complexes, and various substituted benzaldehydes and acetophenones. These chromophores form oxidants by different photochemical mechanisms. Sources of peroxides (HOOH and CH{sub 3}C(O)OOH) and peroxyl radicals (HOO and CH{sub 3}C(O)OO) include aqueous photochemical reactions of substituted benzaldehydes and acetophenones, iron(III)-dicarboxylates, and biacetyl. Reaction of HOOH with photoformed Fe(II), the Fenton reaction, is the primary source of aqueous-phase OH photoformation in cloud waters. Photoreduction of Fe(III) species (e.g. Fe(III)-dicarboxylates) is an important source of Fe(II) in illuminated cloud waters. Photoreactions of phenolic benzaldehydes, and of non-phenolic benzaldehydes in the presence of a phenol, are potential sources of phenoxyl radicals.
