Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from hydroxyl radical (OH.) initiated photooxidation of -pinene was investigated in a
home-made smog chamber. The size distribution of SOA particles was measured using aerodynamic particle sizer spectrometer. The
e ects of illumination intensity and light application time on SOA formation for -pinene were evaluated. Experimental results show
that the concentration of SOA particles increased significantly with an increasing of illumination intensity, and the light application
time, the concentration, and the size of SOA particles were also increased. In addition, the factors influencing the formation of SOA
were discussed. In addition, this article compared the e ect of -pinene with that of toluene, and discussed the contribution of -pinene
to SOA formation.
