Abstract
m-Toluic acid is a photo-oxidation product of m-xylene, a chemical byproduct of the oil and gas industry, and is a common component of secondary atmospheric aerosol. Organic acids, such as m-toluic acid, are also thought to play an important role in the initial steps of aerosol formation, which involves formation of hydrogen bonded clusters with molecular species, such as water, ammonia, and sulfuric acid.
