International audienceThe rate coefficients for the reactions of ozone with 2-carene and 3-carene have been measured at760 Torr of air and 299 ± 6 K using both absolute and relative methods. The data obtained are (in unitsof ×10−17cm3molecule−1s−1): k(2-carene) = 23.8 ± 1.0, k(3-carene) = 3.7 ± 0.2. The present work supple-ments the kinetic database of 2-carene and 3-carene using varied conventional experimental methods.The results are compared with the literature data and discussed with respect to atmospheric chemistry
