Short summary
Effects of SO2 and NH3 on SA formation from unburned gasoline vapor were investigated in a 30 m3 smog chamber. With the increase in SO2 and NH3 concentrations, formation of SA and each of its chemical species was promoted. Meanwhile, NPF and particle size growth were also significantly enhanced. This work indicates that gasoline evaporation emissions will be a significant source of SA and sulfur- and nitrogen-containing organics, especially in the presence of high concentrations of SO2 and NH3.
