DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosenv.2018.08.033
Abstract: Abstract Ambient atmospheric acrolein is commonly associated with anthropogenic combustion sources, but there is increasing evidence that acrolein has a non-combustion natural source that contributes to a low, natural background of acrolein in remote regions.… read more here.
