Short summary
We investigated how well common measurement approaches capture atmospherically relevant organic molecules formed from plant emissions. By synthesizing reference compounds and comparing different ionization methods, we show that widely used mass spectrometric techniques underestimate the abundance of important peroxide‑containing molecules. This bias influences how particle formation and growth rates are derived from measurements and affects subsequent calculations used in atmospheric science.
