A technique is developed to determine the amount of ozone and other products, such as nitric acid and peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN), generated by the individual organic components of a complex atmospheric organic/NOx mixture. The technique is applied to the SAPRC 90 photochemical mechanism to study the individual contributions of carbonyls, aromatics, alkanes, alkenes, and carbon monoxide to ozone, nitric acid, PAN, and free radical production at varying organic to NOx ratios typical of atmospheric conditions.
