Ultrafine and fine particle formation in a naturally ventilated office as a result of reactions between ozone and scented products
Ultrafine and fine particle formation as a result of chemical reactions between ozone and four different air fresheners and a typical lemon-scented domestic cleaner was studied in a fully furnished, naturally ventilated office. The study showed that under conditions representative of those occurring in such offices, air fresheners or scented cleaners may react with ozone to form secondary organic aerosols (SOA).
The tested air fresheners were relatively small sources of SOA with detectable increases occurring only in the ultrafine particle number concentration. With the cleaner, also an increase in particle mass was observed.
