- Abstract
The article presents a study on the performance of the Toronto Photo-Oxidation Tube (TPOT) and Potential Aerosol Mass (PAM) flow tube reactors to develop instrumental techniques for characterizing organic aerosol aging. The study states that theThe PAM system was designed with lower surface-area-to volume (SA/V) ratio to minimize wall effects, while, the TPOT studies heterogeneous aerosol chemistry. Based on results, the TPOT has narrower residence time distribution (RTD) compared to PAM.
