Abstract HEEP COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. The 2- and 3-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), emitted into the atmosphere from combustion sources, exist predominantly in the gas phase. A relative rate technique employing gas chromatography and long path-length differential optical absorption spectroscopy was used to determine rate constants for the gas-phase reaction of OH radicals with naphthalene, phenanthrene and anthracene. By use of a rate constant for the reaction of OH radicals with propene of 4.24 10-12 e544 cm3 molecule-1 s-1, the rate constants obtained were the followig (in units of 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1): naphthalene, 2.35 | 0.06 at 298 | 1? K; phenanthrene, 3.4 | 1.2 at 298 | 1? K and 2.8 THETA 0.6 at 319 | 1? K; anthracene, 11.0 | 0.9 at 325 | 1? K. When an OH radical concentration of 1 was assumed, these rate constants led to atmospheric lifetimes of these PAH due to reaction with OH radicals ofely.
