Abstract

Evidence of a new type of secondary poll utants in photochemical smog, dinitrates, has been presented. Propylene glycol 1,2‐dinitrate (PGDN) was identified as a product in the photooxidation of a propylene‐nitrogen oxides‐air system using an evacuable and bakable smog chamber. The concentrations of the products were measured quantitatively in‐situ by a long‐path Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The yield of PGDN was about 0.10 ppm when the mixture of 3.0 ppm of C3H6 and about 1.5 ppm of NO_X was irradiated in air. The yield of PGDN was nearly the same for both the dry and humidified air system.
