The reaction of ozone with olefins in the gas phase is of critical importance in atmospheric chemistry. This reaction constitutes a major loss process for ozone in the atmosphere. This reaction is also a major loss process, together with the olefin-hydroxy-radical reaction, for olefins emitted by anthropogenic and biogenic sources. While a substantial body of kinetic data is available, much less is known regarding the nature and yields of the products of the ozone-olefin reaction. Yet, this information is very important to develop a better understanding of the major features of oxidant formation and aerosol production in the atmosphere. This information is also important as input to computer kinetic models that attempt to simulate ozone and aerosol formation in photochemically polluted air.
