abstract = {<p>The formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from the oxidation of β-pinene via nitrate radicals is investigated in the Georgia Tech Environmental Chamber (GTEC) facility. Aerosol yields are determined for experiments performed under both dry (relative humidity (RH) < 2 %) and humid (RH = 50 % and RH = 70 %) conditions. To probe the effects of peroxy radical (RO<sub>2</sub>) fate on aerosol formation, "RO<sub>2</sub> + NO<sub>3</sub> dominant" and "RO<sub>2</sub> + HO<sub>2</sub> dominant" experiments are performed. Gas-phase organic nitrate species (with molecular weights of 215, 229, 231, and 245 amu, which likely correspond to molecular formulas of C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>17</sub>NO<sub>4</sub>, C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>15</sub>NO<sub>5</sub>, C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>17</sub>NO<sub>5</sub>, and C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>15</sub>NO<sub>6</sub>, respectively) are detected by chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS) and their formation mechanisms are proposed. The NO<sup>+</sup> (at <i>m/z</i> 30) and NO<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> (at <i>m/z</i> 46) ions contribute about 11 % to the combined organics and nitrate signals in the typical aerosol mass spectrum, with the NO<sup>+</sup> : NO<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> ratio ranging from 4.8 to 10.2 in all experiments conducted. The SOA yields in the "RO<sub>2</sub> + NO<sub>3</sub> dominant" and "RO<sub>2</sub> + HO<sub>2</sub> dominant" experiments are comparable. For a wide range of organic mass loadings (5.1–216.1 μg m<sup>−3</sup>), the aerosol mass yield is calculated to be 27.0–104.1 %. Although humidity does not appear to affect SOA yields, there is evidence of particle-phase hydrolysis of organic nitrates, which are estimated to compose 45–74 % of the organic aerosol. The extent of organic nitrate hydrolysis is significantly lower than that observed in previous studies on photooxidation of volatile organic compounds in the presence of NO<sub><i>x</sub></i>. It is estimated that about 90 and 10 % of the organic nitrates formed from the β-pinene+NO<sub>3</sub> reaction are primary organic nitrates and tertiary organic nitrates, respectively. While the primary organic nitrates do not appear to hydrolyze, the tertiary organic nitrates undergo hydrolysis with a lifetime of 3–4.5 h. Results from this laboratory chamber study provide the fundamental data to evaluate the contributions of monoterpene + NO<sub>3</sub> reaction to ambient organic aerosol measured in the southeastern United States, including the Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study (SOAS) and the Southeastern Center for Air Pollution and Epidemiology (SCAPE) study.</p>},
