Present affiliation National Center for Atmospheric Research Boulder Colorado and Atmospheric Research Group Altadena California. Dept. of Civil Engineering University of Washington Seattle Washington Abstract A previously described dynamic photochemical reactor was applied to studies of the effects of sulfur dioxide humidity and order of mixing of reactants an the photochemical production of aerosol from l-octene and nitrogen dioxide in air. The effects of all three parameters are complex but explainable from a few reasonable assumptions the most important of which is probably that initial contact between the aerosol nuclei and the more polar reactants has a governing effect an the nature of the product. . . .
