Emissions from on-road light-duty gasoline vehicles (LDGVs) are a major contributor to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in urban environments. However, only a small fraction of SOA formed during photo-oxidation of dilute LDGV exhaust in a smog chamber is explained by single-ring aromatic compounds. —Zhao et al.
