Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a ubiquitous organic compound found in urban atmospheres across the globe. (1,2) HCHO concentrations in urban areas are typically an order of magnitude higher than concentrations of larger aldehydes such as acetaldehyde or more complex molecules with an aldehyde functional group. (3) HCHO can be emitted directly to the atmosphere (primary), or it can form as a product from the reaction of more complex organic molecules (secondary).
