Small carbonyl compounds are formed during the photochemical oxidation of many volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), in urban as well as in rural areas. Photolysis and reaction with the OH radical are the most important initiation reactions for the atmospheric degradation of these compounds, and lead to the formation of peroxy radicals in the former case and either stable molecules and/or free radicals in the latter case (Finlayson-Pitts and Pitts, 1999).
