  "term": "Pinene",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of volatile organic compound (VOC), specifically a monoterpene, emitted into the atmosphere by coniferous trees and other vegetation. Pinenes, existing as alpha-pinene and beta-pinene isomers, react with atmospheric oxidants like ozone and hydroxyl radicals. These reactions contribute to the formation of secondary organic aerosols, which can influence cloud formation and regional air quality.",
