| Abstract |
Naphthalene and biphenyl are the simplest members of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and the polyphenyls, respectively. In addition, biphenyl is the parent compound of the chlorine and bromine substituted biphenyls. However, these bicyclic aromatics are of a sufficiently low volatility to make experimental measurements of their gas phase reactions and atmospheric lifetimes and fates difficult. In this work rate constants for the gas phase reactions of OH radicals and O3 with naphthalene and biphenyl have been determined under atmospheric conditions at 294 + or - 1 K. These data are discussed in terms of the environmental lifetimes for these aromatic hydrocarbons and available techniques for the study of the gas phase reactions of low volatility organics are discussed. |
