On the use of an explicit chemical mechanism to dissect peroxy acetyl nitrate formation. [PDF]
Peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN) is a key component of photochemical smog and plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry. Though it has been known that PAN is produced via reactions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) with some volatile organic compounds (VOCs ...
