Gas-Phase Reaction of trans-2-Methyl-2-butenal with Cl: Kinetics, Gaseous Products, and SOA Formation [PDF]
The gas-phase reaction between trans-2-methyl-2-butenal and chlorine (Cl) atoms has been studied in a simulation chamber at 298 ± 2 K and 760 ± 5 Torr of air under free-NOx conditions. The rate coefficient of this reaction was determined as k = (2.45 ± 0.

HEPA filters of portable air cleaners as a tool for the surveillance of SARS-CoV-2. [PDF]
Abstract Studies about the identification of SARS‐CoV‐2 in indoor aerosols have been conducted in hospital patient rooms and to a lesser extent in nonhealthcare environments. In these studies, people were already infected with SARS‐CoV‐2. However, in the present study, we investigated the presence of SARS‐CoV‐2 in HEPA filters housed in portable air ...

Population origin determines the adaptive potential for the advancement of flowering onset in Lupinus angustifolius L. (Fabaceae). [PDF]
Abstract In the present framework of global warming, it is unclear whether evolutionary adaptation can happen quick enough to preserve the persistence of many species. Specifically, we lack knowledge about the adaptive potential of the different populations in relation to the various constraints that may hamper particular adaptations. There is evidence

Long‐term evolution of cold air pools over the Madrid basin
Cold air pools (CAPs) are identified. CAPs are a common wintertime (NDJ) phenomenon which combines local, synoptic, and large‐scale processes. No long‐term trend was found either in the CAP ocurrence or their strength. Abstract Cold air pools (CAPs) are one of the most severe weather conditions experienced across many basins worldwide, related to ...

Atmospheric impact of 2-methylpentanal emissions: kinetics, photochemistry, and formation of secondary pollutants [PDF]
The tropospheric fate of 2-methylpentanal (2MP) has been investigated in this work. First, the photochemistry of 2MP under simulated solar conditions was investigated by determining the UV absorption cross sections (220–360 nm) and the effective ...

Evaluation of the daytime tropospheric loss of 2-methylbutanal [PDF]
Saturated aldehydes, e.g. 2-methylbutanal (2 MB, CH3CH2CH(CH3)C(O)H), are emitted into the atmosphere by several biogenic sources. The first step in the daytime atmospheric degradation of 2 MB involves gas-phase reactions initiated by hydroxyl (OH ...

Atmospheric fate of a series of saturated alcohols: kinetic and mechanistic study [PDF]
The atmospheric fate of a series of saturated alcohols (SAs) was evaluated through kinetic and reaction product studies with the main atmospheric oxidants. These SAs are alcohols that could be used as fuel additives.
