Isoprene is a naturally occurring organic compound that is produced by plants, trees, and some microorganisms. It is a volatile hydrocarbon that plays a significant role in atmospheric chemistry and climate change. Isoprene is released into the atmosphere in large quantities and can react with other pollutants to form harmful substances such as ozone and particulate matter. Research in the field of isoprene focuses on understanding its sources, emissions, and impacts on air quality and climate. Scientists study the role of isoprene in the formation of secondary organic aerosols, which can affect human health and the environment. Isoprene emissions are also important for predicting future climate change and developing strategies to mitigate its impact. Overall, research in the area of isoprene aims to improve our understanding of its role in atmospheric chemistry and to develop policies and technologies to reduce its emissions and mitigate its effects on air quality and climate.
