Abstract

Indoor BrC-containing cooking organic aerosols (BrCOA) can act as sensitizers generating the first excited state of molecular oxygen, singlet oxygen, under indoor lighting conditions. Sustained singlet oxygen steady-state levels lead to prolonged oxidation of indoor aerosols impacting air quality.
