These are atmospheric oxidation products of volatile organic compounds (VOC) retaining most of their carbon backbone, and with O/C ratios around unity. Owing to their surprisingly high yields and low vapor pressures, the importance of HOM for aerosol formation has been easy to verify. However, the opposite can be said concerning the exact forma...
