Recent laboratory and modelling studies have shown that reactive uptake of low molecular weight α-dicarbonyls such as glyoxal (GLY) by aerosols is a potentially significant source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). However, previous studies disagree in the magnitude of the uptake of GLY, the mechan...
