Chemical artifact is a problem in the sampling of atmospheric organic species for a relatively long sampling period. In this study, we evaluated a technique for the removal of atmospheric oxidants with added NO during gas and aerosol sampling by theoretical approach using a Regional Atmospheric Chemistry Mechanism (RACM) model. The elimination of O3 in the sample air is regulated predominantly by the reaction of NO and O3 in all simulated cases. We found that, without any oxidant scavenger, OH and NO3 concentrations in the sampler can be kept high even when wall loss processes of radicals are taken into account The relatively high concentration of OH is mainly due to the production of HO(x) in the sample air via the decomposition of HO2NO2 and O3-olefin reactions, whereas NO3 is produced by the decomposition of N2O5. Addition of NO with appropriate concentrations was found to effectively reduce both OH and NO3 concentrations in the sampling devices. This study demonstrates that scavenging of OH and NO3 as well as O3 is important for the study of chemical speciation of organic compounds and that NO addition is a useful technique to eliminate these oxidants.
