Future Activities:
During the next year, we will continue to use spin traps to explore the nature of the initially formed free radical species that form an important part of the reactive oxygen species associated with freshly formed secondary organic aerosols. We are also making ambient measurements using the spin traps in urban and rural environments to explore the presence of particle-bound free radical species. We are also exploring the potential use of new fluorogenic probes for the ROS measurement. Recently, Fairfull-Smith and Bottle (2008) have reported a series of new probes that appear to be more sensitive and with less blank problems than the dichlorofluorescin-based system we are currently using. We are working with Prof. Bottle to test his probes as we did with the other currently used probes (Venkatachari and Hopke, 2008a). They claim that their probes will be as sensitive, but with lower and more consistent blank values and without the self-oxidation seen with DCFH. The first batch of the probe is to be sent from the Queensland University of Technology to permit the initial experiments to be performed.References:
