The ortho-, meta- and para-ethyltoluenes are new additives in reformulated gasoline. In this work. the concentrations of these aromatic hydrocarbons were at first measured in leaded and unleaded gasolines. and secondly in the atmosphere of Grenoble during a selected period, from 15/03/99 to 20/03/99. Then some reactivity experiments were performed in a simulated atmospheric chamber. Ozone production and aerosol formation dire to the presence of these three ethyltoluene isomers was observed.
