Advances in spectroscopic techniques have led to a better understanding of the atmospheric chemistry of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Two important atmospheric properties of VOC`s are the hydroxyl radical (OH{sm_bullet}) rate constant and OH{sm_bullet}/VOC reaction products. Gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy/infrared spectroscopy (GC/MS/FTIR) are currently used in the laboratory to obtain this data. The OH{sm_bullet} rate constant and reaction products have been investigated for 2-ethoxyethyl acetate (CH{sub 3}C({double_bond}O)OCH{sub 2}CH{sub 2}OCH{sub 2}CH{sub 3}), a paint thinner and paint component. Using the spectroscopic techniques mentioned above, the first detailed atmospheric reaction mechanism for 2-ethoxyethyl acetate will be presented. New areas of atmospheric research utilizing spectroscopic techniques will be discussed.
