What the paper says

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from gasoline vehicles spanning a wide range of emission types was investigated using an oxidation flow reactor (OFR) by conducting chassis dynamometer tests. Aided by advanced mass spectrometric techniques, SOA precursors, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and intermediate/semivolatile organic compounds (I/SVOCs), were comprehensively characterized. The reconstructed SOA produced from the speciated VOCs and I/SVOCs can explain 69% of the SOA measured downstream of an OFR upon 0.5-3 days' OH exposure. While VOCs can only explain 10% of total SOA production, the contribution from I/SVOCs is 59%, with oxygenated I/SVOCs (O-I/SVOCs) taking up 20% of that contribution. O-I/SVOCs (e.g., benzylic or aliphatic aldehydes and ketones), as an obscured source, account for 16% of total nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) emission. More importantly, with the improvement in emission standards, the NMOG is effectively mitigated by 35% from China 4 to China 6, which is predominantly attributed to the decrease of VOCs. Real-time measurements of different NMOG components as well as SOA production further reveal that the current emission control measures, such as advances in engine and three-way catalytic converter (TWC) techniques, are effective in reducing the "light" SOA precursors (i.e., single-ring aromatics) but not for the I/SVOC emissions. Our results also highlight greater effects of O-I/SVOCs to SOA formation than previously observed and the urgent need for further investigation into their origins, i.e., incomplete combustion, lubricating oil, etc., which requires improvements in real-time molecular-level characterization of I/SVOC molecules and in turn will benefit the future design of control measures.
