Ozonolysis of isoprene is considered to be an important source of atmospheric formic acid, but its underlying reaction mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, the authors study the reaction of the primary isoprene ozonolysis products formaldehyde oxide and formaldehyde and evaluate atmospheric implications using a global chemistry-transport model.
