Short summary
As compound are emitted into the atmosphere, they can undergo chemical reactions to produce secondary products. This paper investigates the relations of compounds' unique chemical characteristics to the processes that formed them from emissions in the atmosphere. A model is applied to help with this investigation. The complexity of the atmosphere, including mixing of air masses and variability in precursor reactivity, is taken into consideration, and results are presented.
