. Conclusions and atmospheric implications
•
This paper shows that the reaction between TA and OH in oxy-
genated solution gives TAOH, with pH and temperature trends that
should be taken into account for a laboratory quantification of OH
photogeneration in atmospheric waters. The values of YTAOH are
not affected by common cloud water components such as inor-
ganic anions (Cl , NH4 and SO4 ) and carboxylic acids (formic,
acetic, succinic, oxalic), at atmospherically relevant concentration.
TA appears as a more selective OH probe compared to nitroben-
zene and benzoic acid, which undergo significant interference by
additional reactive species (possibly nitrogen dioxide and atomic
oxygen) that are produced by nitrate photolysis [37]. In oxygenated
solution the TAOH yield is relatively low compared to the phenol
yield from benzene, but the reverse is true in oxygen-free solution

17,38]. Two important advantages of TA versus benzene are the
safer use and the limited volatility, which allows the degradation
rate of TA to be taken into account. In contrast, that of benzene is
often biased by volatilization [31,37]. The accurate determination
of the rate of TA degradation in addition to TAOH formation is inter-
esting as it allows the use of YTAOH to identify possible interference.
That would be more useful in surface-water photochemistry, where
the excited triplet states of organic compounds are likely to play a
more important role than in atmospheric waters [39,40]. More-
over, the fluorescence of TAOH allows more sensitive detection (by
direct fluorescence spectroscopy or HPLC-Fluorescence) compared
to non-fluorescent compounds.
