Outline of Final Research Achievements

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are important precursors of ozone and secondary organic aerosols in the atmosphere, some of which are carcinogenic, teratogenic, or mutagenic. VOCs in ambient air originate from many sources, and undergo intricate chemical reactions in the atmosphere. To develop efficient air pollution remediation strategies, it is important to clearly identify the emission sources and elucidate the reaction mechanisms in the atmosphere. In this study, we investigated the stable hydrogen isotope ratios (δ2H) of the atmospheric volatile organic compounds under ultraviolet irradiation for various wavelengths and irradiation times. We were able to identify an inverse isotope effect for the δ2H values for benzene and toluene under ultraviolet irradiation. It is thought that the hybridization of CH bond had changed from sp2 to sp3, and the secondary KIE had occurred, the inverse isotope effect was observed as a result.
