— Exploratory experiments using simulated conditions indicate that the terpene, (+)‐limonene can serve to detect O 2 ( 1 Δ g ) in polluted atmospheres. 1 O 2 attack on limonene results in the formation of specific oxidation products in a specific distribution; quantitative identification of these products is a highly specific test for 1 O 2 .
