The main objective of this thesis was the chemical characterization of synthetic secondary organic aerosol (SOA) produced from atmospherically relevant anthropogenic and biogenic VOCs during reaction chamber experiments. In parallel, the resulting chemical features of these laboratory-SOA were used to interpret the composition of ambient samples of atmospheric fine particulate matter collected at several sites in Europe, in order to determine the fraction of ambient aerosol organic mass accounted for by biogenic and anthropogenic SOA.
