Reaction of Naphthalene and Its Derivatives with Hydroxyl Radicals in the Gas Phase
Abstract
Naphthalene is the most abundant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) found in urban air. It is reactive in the atmosphere under ambient conditions, its chief reaction partner being the hydroxyl radical, OH • . In this work, the reactions of OH • with naphthalene, 1- and 2-naphthol, and 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene were studied in a 9.4 m 3 smog chamber. Relative rates of reaction accorded well with previous studies and allowed estimates to be made of the atmospheric lifetimes of these compounds. Numerous oxidation products were identified, and mechanisms proposed for their formation were based on the further transformation of benzocyclohexadienyl radicals formed by addition of OH • to naphthalene. The naphthols and nitronaphthalenes were deduced not to be on the major reaction pathway to the more oxidized products. Because of the high reactivity of PAH in air, we suggest that priority be given to identifying and quantitating their reaction products, some of which may be relatively persistent air toxics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
