Secondary organic aerosol formation from early-generation oxidation products of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane depends on seed aerosol composition

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane is emitted in populated areas and oxidized to form the siloxanol. Small amounts of the siloxanol partition to the particle phase via adsorption onto ammonium sulfate seeds and via absorption into dioctyl sebacate seeds.
