Large Agglomerates Formed from Ozone Reactions with Surface Bound Alpha-terpineol and Dihydromyrcenol

Abstract

To better understand the effects of ozone/terpene surface reactions on indoor environmental quality, the products of ozone reactions with surface-adsorbed α-terpineol and dihydromyrcenol were investigated. Large aggregates, 0.5-10 μm in diameter, were found as surface reaction products on glass slides exposed to mixture of ozone and a terpenoid. Results suggested that some fraction of the ozonated terpenoids are converted to very-low volatility species which remain on the surface and may change the chemical characteristics of that surface over time.
