Atmospheric implications - CF3CH2CH2OH CF3CH2CH2OH will be removed by OH (x ~ 12 days) CF3CH2CHO produced will be removed mainly by OH (x ~ 4 days). Photolysis is a minor process (x > 15 days, Sellevag et al PCCP 2004, 61243) In the presence ofNOx, small amount of CF3CH2C(0)02N 02will be formed In the absence ofNOxcarboxylic acid could be formed: CF3CH2C(0)02+ H02-> CF3C(0)0H + 0 3 Yield of -25% (Sulbaek et al Chem. Plays. Lett. 2003, 381, 14) CF3CHO will be the major oxidation product. It will be removed by OH (x * 25 days) and possibly photolysis (x > 27 days, Sellevag et al 2004% and may be uptaken by water (-rOaiHn arneadcctiloonudw):ill produce CF20 and peroxynitrate in the presence ofNOx, and could be a source of trifluroacetic acid at low NOx: CF3C(0)02+ H02-->CF3C(0)0H + 0 3 - Photolysis is likely to produce CF3which will yield CF20 - Uptake by water is a source of CF3COOH
