Benzo[b]fluoranthene (B[b]F) and benzo[k]fluoranthene (B[k]F) are widespread priority pollutants of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can react with atmospheric oxidants during transport in the troposphere and lead to the formation of more toxic compounds. At present, the rates of heterogeneous reactions of B[b]F and B[k]F aerosols with NO 3 radicals, an important atmospheric oxidant, are not fully understood. Thus, this study investigated the products and kinetics of heterogeneous reactions of suspended B[b]F and B[k]F particles with NO 3 radicals in an aerosol reaction chamber at room temperature (293±2K) under atmospheric pressure. The reactions are monitored online using a vacuum ultraviolet photoionization aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer (VUV-ATOFMS) and an atmospheric gas analysis mass spectrometer. The mono-nitro-, di-nitro-, tri-nitro-products, and those products containing both nitro and ketone groups are observed with VUV-ATOFMS. The effective rate constants for heterogeneous reactions of particulate B[b]F and B[k]F with NO 3 radicals under the experimental conditions are respectively estimated to (1.2±0.1)×10 −12 cm 3 molecule −1 s −1 and (5.8±0.3)×10 −13 cm 3 molecule −1 s −1 using a mixed-phase relative rate method, and the corresponding effective uptake coefficients are respectively estimated to 0.22 and 0.65. The lifetimes of particulate B[b]F and B[k]F at a typical concentration of NO 3 radicals (5×10 8 moleculecm −3 ) in the lower troposphere during the night are estimated to 3.0 and 3.9h, respectively. The experimental results of these heterogeneous reactions in the aerosol state provide supplementary knowledge for kinetic behaviors of airborne PAHs particles.
