The ozonolytic decomposition of terpenes and terpenoids during sampling on Tenax is investigated in an artificial air system at ambient concentration levels. The detrimental effect of 8-150 ppbv ozone depends on the chemical structure of the compounds: saturated terpenoids such as 1,8-cineole, camphor, and bornyl acetate are unaffected by ozone. The terpenes and terpenoids which containing one C-C double bond are slightly decomposed in the order camphene < β-pinene ≈ myrtenal < α-pinene < sabinene ≈ citronellal. The compounds containing two or more double bonds are significantly decomposed in the order d-limonene ≈ citral < linalool < β-ocimene < terpinolene << α-terpinene ≈ β-caryophyllene. For α-pinene, sabinene and d-limonene, their ozonolysis products are found on the tubes: pinonaldehyde, 5-(1-methylethyl)bicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-one, and 3-(1-methylethenyl)-6-oxoheptanal. The analytical recoveries are significantly enhanced for many compounds when the sampling duration is reduced from 10 min to 30 s, explained by the time available for ozonolysis. A miniature ozone scrubber with multiple layers of MnO(2)-coated copper nets was developed and thoroughly tested. The optimal number of plies is found to be 8, which ensures quantitative recoveries for all test compounds except α-terpinene, β-caryophyllene, citral, and citronellal. The results that are reported here call into question previous data on terpenes and terpenoids and/or their oxidation products where measurements have been carried out without the prior removal of ozone. |
