Short summary
Oxymethylene ethers are a class of sustainable compounds that could be used to replace harmful organic solvents in a range of applications. In this work, we use lab-based experiments to identify the main breakdown routes of these compounds in the atmosphere. We have determined that they likely contribute less to air pollution than the compounds that they replace.
