Flower, air and thunderstorm sampling methods and some results

Abstract

This file contains the air, flower and thunderstorm sampling protocols for the related data sets - Asthma and BVOCs. It also contains some flower and thunderstorm results and graphs. Air sample results are in the associated data sets. Independent variables of benzoic acid, benzaldehyde, alpha pinene, beta pinene, 1,8 cineole, camphor, limonene, linalyl acetate and linalool were determined as ambient gases through floral and air analysis. Details of flower and air sampling and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) method and analysis, including chromatograms of the thunderstorm sample, and a typical air sample, are detailed in the supplementary file.
