Short summary
We investigated how an important naturally emitted chemical, isoprene, can contribute to the formation of aerosol particles, which are a key component of air pollution that can also influence climate. Specifically, we found that a particular relative of isoprene, methacrylic acid epoxide, is capable of transforming into a number of different chemical components via reaction on existing aerosol particles. These results will help to make isoprene air quality model predictions more accurate.
