General description: | β-pinene is a volatile monoterepenoid emitted from the Peterson avocado wood. Generation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from the gas phase ozonolysis of α- and β-pinene using the Master Chemical Mechanism version 3 (MCM v3) has been reported. β-Pinene is the key ingredient of the essential oil isolated from Cedronella canariensis. It is also the main component of the essential oils of resins of Pinus brutia and Pinus pinea. |
