Abstract
Terpenes are a class of volatile organic compounds that are emitted by plants and grasses. Many of these terpenes play a major role in the formation of secondary organic aerosol, which have major atmospheric and climate impacts. Being able to quantify terpenes can assist in monitoring them during SOA formation. In this study, terpenes were measured, identified, and quantified by a new method using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry in concert with solid phase microextraction sampling. Analytical figures of merit, such as limit of detection and linear dynamic range, are provided for select terpenes of importance to SOA formation in our atmosphere.
