We have conducted a series of laboratory experiments in which it is demonstrated that significant amounts of geranyl acetone, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (6-MHO), 4-oxopentanal (4-OPA) and acetone are formed by the reaction of ozone with foliage of common vegetation in the Mediterranean Sea. }, title = {Ozonolysis at Vegetation Surfaces: A Source of Acetone, 4-Oxopentanal, 6-Methyl-5-Hepten-2-one, and Geranylacetone in the Troposphere.}, type = {}, url = {}, volume = {32}, number = {}, journal = {Atmospheric Environment}, pages = {1893-1902}, issn = {}, publisher = {}, doi = {} }
