Abstract: Division of Air Pollution Robert A. Taft Sanitary Engineering Center Cincinnati 26 Ohio Abstract. A number of aromatic hydrocarbons participate as effectively as the olefins in atmospheric photooxidation reactions in the presence of nitrogen oxides and ultraviolet light. Judged both an the basis of reactivity and concentrations in the atmosphere the aromatic hydrocarbons cannot be ignored as contributors to the photochemical type of air pollution. ___MH
