Abstract
The OH-initiated heterogeneous oxidation of semi-solid saccharide particles with varying bulk compositions was investigated in an atmospheric pressure flow tube at 30% relative humidity. Reactive uptake coefficients were determined from the rate loss of the saccharide reactants measured by mass spectrometry at different monosaccharide (methyl-β-d-glucopyranoside, C7H14O6) and disaccharide (lactose, C12H22O11) molar ratios. The reactive uptake for the monosaccharide was found to decrease from 0.53 ± 0.10 to 0.05 ± 0.06 as the mono-to-disaccharide molar ratio changed from 8:1 to 1:1. A reaction–diffusion model was developed in order to determine the effect of chemical composition on the reactive uptake. The observed decays can be reproduced using a Vignes relationship to predict the composition dependence of the reactant diffusion coefficients. The experimental data and model results suggest that the addition of the disaccharide significantly increases the particle viscosity leading to slower mass transport phenomena from the bulk to the particle surface and to a decreased reactivity. These findings illustrate the impact of bulk composition on reactant bulk diffusivity which determines the rate-limiting step during the chemical transformation of semi-solid particles in the atmosphere.

Abstract
The uptake of medium-sized levoglucosan and 2,4-dinitrophenol to organic particles produced by α-pinene ozonolysis and to ammonium sulfate particles was studied from 10% to >95% relative humidity (RH). For aqueous sulfate particles, the water-normalized gas-particle partitioning coefficient of levoglucosan decreased from (1.0 ± 0.1) × 10-3 to (0.2 ± 0.1) × 10-3 (ng μg-1)particle/(ng m-3)gas from 40% to >95% RH, suggestive of a salting-in mechanism between levoglucosan and ionic ammonium sulfate solutions. For the organic particles, the levoglucosan partitioning coefficient increased from 10% to 40% RH and became invariant at (2.0 ± 0.4) × 10-3 (ng μg-1)/(ng m-3) above 40% RH. A kinetic limitation on uptake below 40% RH was implied, compared to a thermodynamic regime above 40% RH. The estimated diffusivity was 10-19±0.05 m2 s-1 at 40% RH. By comparison, the uptake of 2,4-dinitrophenol onto the organic particles was below detection limit, implying an upper limit on the partitioning coefficient of 6.8 × 10-6 (ng μg-1)/(ng m-3) at 80% RH. The results highlight that the molecular uptake of gases onto particles can be regulated by both kinetic and thermodynamic factors, either of which can limit the uptake of medium-sized organic molecules by atmospherically relevant particles.

Abstract
Increasing humidity is seen to accelerate the uptake process as the double bond numbers of organic particles increase.

Abstract
Pollen coating, located on the exine, includes an extractible lipid fraction. The modification of the pollen coating by air pollutants may have implications on the interactions of pollen with plant stigmas and human cells. Pinus halepensis pollen was exposed to ozone in vitro and the pollen coating was extracted with organic solvent and analyzed by GC-MS. Ozone has induced chemical changes in the coating as observed with an increase in dicarboxylic acids, short-chain fatty acids and aldehydes. 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde was identified as the main reaction product and its formation was shown to occur both on native pollen and on defatted pollen. 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is very likely formed via the ozonolysis of acid coumaric-like monomers constitutive of the sporopollenin. Modification of pollen coating by air pollutants should be accounted for in further studies on effect of pollution on germination and on allergenicity.

Abstract
Aging of organic aerosol particles is one of the most poorly understood topics in atmospheric aerosol research. Here, we used an aerosol flow tube together with an iodide-adduct high-resolution time-of-flight chemical-ionization mass spectrometer equipped with a Filter Inlet for Gases and AEROsols (FIGAERO-HRToF-CIMS) to investigate heterogeneous ozonolysis of oleic acid (OL), developing a comprehensive oxidation mechanism with observed products. In addition to the well-known first-generation C9 products including nonanal, nonanoic acid, azelaic acid, and 9-oxononanoic acid, the iodide-adduct chemical ionization permitted unambiguous determination of a large number of high-molecular-weight particulate products up to 670 Da with minimum amounts of fragmentation. These high-molecular-weight products are characterized by a fairly uniform carbon oxidation state but stepwise addition of a carbon backbone moiety, and hence continuous decrease in the volatility. Our results demonstrate that heterogeneous oxidation of organic aerosols has a significant effect on the physiochemical properties of organic aerosols and that reactions of particulate SCIs from ozonolysis of an unsaturated particulate species represent a previously underappreciated mechanism that lead to formation of high-molecular-weight particulate products that are stable under typical atmospheric conditions.
