“…Weight-loss studies of the aerosols indicated that considerable portion of the original aerosol sample may be material that either is volatile or decomposes to give volatile products. The work of Harkins and Nicksic (1965a) confirms the fact that aerosols produced by irradiation of the lower olefins in the presence of NO, and SO, are not of organic composition. To test for the formation of organic aerosols, 3 ppm of tagged propylene (the carbon atom on each side of the double band was labeled) or ethylene was irradiated with 2 ppm NO and 5 ppm SOz.…”

“…The role of S02 in visibility reduction was investigated by Harkins and Nicksic (1965). By employing radioactive propylene and ethylene in the presence and absence of S02, they showed that the total tracer count for the aerosols was the same.…”

The photochemical aspects of air pollution are reviewed through 1964. The topics covered include: nitric oxide oxidation and inorganic reactions, atomic oxygen and ozone reactions, singlet oxygen and its importance to air pollution, aldehyde and ketone photolysis, sulfur dioxide photolysis, synergistic effects, photooxidation of commercial solvents, product formation with emphasis on hydroperoxides, nitric acid and peroxybenzoyl nitrate, reactivity measurements including hydrocarbon consumption, nitric oxide oxidation, oxidant formation and eye irritation, aerosols, natural pollution, and actinometry. The effects of photochemical pollutants on plants are not covered. Suggestions for future research are also given.

“…Smog chamber studies of irradiated mixtures of hydrocarbons, NO*, and S02 (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) are useful in the study of such systems. Although S02 oxidation rates can be calculated from chamber data, previous investigators have not reported mass balances for sulfur.…”
