Abstract

Advances in spectroscopic techniques have led to a better understanding of the atmospheric chemistry of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Two important atmospheric properties of VOC's are the hydroxyl radical (OH(DOT)) rate constant and OH(DOT)/VOC reaction products. Gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy/infrared spectroscopy are currently used in our laboratory to obtain this data. The OH(DOT) rate constant and reaction products have been investigated for 2-ethoxyethyl acetate (CH₃C(equalsO)OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₃), a paint thinner and paint component. Using the spectroscopic techniques mentioned above, the first detailed atmospheric reaction mechanism for 2-ethoxyethyl acetate will be presented. New areas of atmospheric research utilizing spectroscopic techniques will be discussed.
