Abstract

It is found that many kinds of organic gases, which belong to aromatics, terpenes, and cycloalkanes, produce aerosols when irradiated by a deuterium lamp with spectrum ranging from 180 to 400 nm in wavelength, and by a krypton-fluoride excimer laser operated at 249 nm. Two initial processes are important, direct excitation of organic molecule by the ultraviolet light, and reaction of organic molecule with ozone produced photochemically by the ultraviolet light. It depends on compounds which process is dominant. For some compounds, both are possible.
