Short summary

Here we present a study of the photooxidation of alpha-pinene, the most abundant monoterpene, by hydroxyl radicals (OH) conducted in the simulation chamber SAPHIR under low NO_x and atmospheric alpha-pinene concentrations. Yields of the main degradation products acetone, formaldehyde, and pinonaldehyde were determined and the HO_x (OH + HO₂) radical budget was investigated. Measurements were used to test current atmospheric models and a theory-based mechanism.
