An investigation has been made of the chemical, aerosol plant damage, and eye irritation effects of irradiating various single hydrocarbon - aldehyde or multi-component hydrocarbon - NO systems under dynamic flow conditions. The systems investigated included the following individual hydrocarbons which were irradiated in the presence of NO (and traces of NO/sub 2/): ethylene, 1-butene, 1,3-butadiene, toluene, xylene, and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, n-hexane, 3-methylpentane, 2,4,4-trimethylpentane, and cyclohexane. Mixtures of hydrocarbons including ethylene and 1-butene; ethylene, 1-butene, and trans-2-butene; and ethylene, 1-butene, trans-2-butene, and mixed xylenes also were irradiated in the presence of nitrogen oxide in air. In addition the photooxidation of the formaldehyde - oxygen, propionaldehyde - oxygen, formaldehyde - NO and propionaldehyde - NO systems were investiaged.
