Abstract: As a global concern to the volatile organic compounds (VOC), which includes isoprene, terpenes and non-terpenoid compounds, are able to react with hydroxyl radicals (OH), nitrate radicals (NO3) and ozone (O3) in troposphere. According to the previous research, global SOA formation from VOC is estimated in a range of 2-12 Tg yr-1 (Henze et al., 2008). Isoprene, which is a typical category of VOC, is able to produce secondary organic aerosol (SOA) by oxidization. The reaction mechanism and final products of isoprene are able to be applied in environmental protection projects and meteorological research. Except experiment, simulation model is a research tool to explore organic compounds reaction mechanism as well. As a result, this report will focus on the achievements in the research of VOC and SOA, the reaction mechanism of isoprene oxidization, reaction products and intermediates by chamber experiment simulation model. Besides, this model could have tendency to be applied in the future reaction mechanism development.
