Notes:
a) it seems like the definition of "black_carbon" is not always included in the 
term definitions

b) nmvoc is not "expressed_as_carbon" - instead the total mass content is given 
(it's the practice of reporting)

c) * alcohols need to be defined: "Alcohols include all organic compounds with 
an alcoholic group."

d) * pentane needs to be defined: "The chemical formula for pentane is C5H12. 
Pentane is a member of the group of hydrocarbons known as alkanes. There are 
standard names for the alkane group as well as for some of the individual 
species."

e) * hexane_and_higher_alkanes: this is one of the lumped groups that had been 
discussed two years ago. We cannot adopt the general term "alkanes", because 
alkanes < C6 are listed explicitly and it would be misleading. Might be best to 
open a new discussion thread on this issue(?)

f) there are also compound mixes named "other_alkenes_and_alkynes", 
"other_aromatics", "other_alkanals" and "other_voc" (GEIA VOC groups) -- we 
propose to not add these to the standard_name table due to the ambiguity of the 
definition.

g) * trimethylbenzene needs to be defined: "The chemical formula for 
trimethylbenzene is C9H12. The IUPAC names for trimethylbenzene is 
1,3,5-trimethylbenzene. Trimethylbenzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon. There are 
standard names that refer to aromatic_compounds as a group, as well as those 
for individual species."

h) * esters need to be defined: "Esters in organic chemistry are chemical 
compounds derived by reacting an oxoacid with a hydroxyl compound such as an 
alcohol or phenol. Esters are usually derived from an inorganic acid or organic 
acid in which at least one -OH (hydroxyl) group is replaced by an -O-alkyl 
(alkoxy) group, and most commonly from carboxylic acids and alcohols. That is, 
esters are formed by condensing an acid with an alcohol. In standard names 
"esters" is the term used to describe the group of ester species that are 
represented within a given model. The list of individual species that are 
included in a quantity having a group chemical standard name can vary between 
models. Where possible, the data variable should be accompanied by a complete 
description of the species represented, for example, by using a comment 
attribute." [source for first sentences: Wikipedia]

i) * ethers need to be defined: "Ethers are a class of organic compounds that 
contain an ether group - an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups - 
of general formula R-O-R. In standard names "ethers" is the term used to 
describe the group of ether species that are represented within a given model. 
The list of individual species that are included in a quantity having a group 
chemical standard name can vary between models. Where possible, the data 
variable should be accompanied by a complete description of the species 
represented, for example, by using a comment attribute." [source for first 
sentences: Wikipedia]

j) * chlorinated_hydrocarbons need to be defined: "Chlorinated Hydrocarbons are 
a group of chemicals composed of carbon, chlorine and hydrogen. As pesticides, 
they are also referred to by several other names, including chlorinated 
organics, chlorinated insecticides and chlorinated synthetics. In standard 
names "chlorinated_hydrocarbons" is the term used to describe the group of 
chlorinated hydrocarbon species that are represented within a given model. The 
list of individual species that are included in a quantity having a group 
chemical standard name can vary between models. Where possible, the data 
variable should be accompanied by a complete description of the species 
represented, for example, by using a comment attribute." [source for first 
sentences: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pi090]";

k) * ketones need to be defined: "In organic chemistry, a ketone is a compound 
with the structure RC(=O)R', where R and R' can be a variety of atoms and 
groups of atoms. It features a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two other carbon 
atoms. Acetone is the simplest example of a ketone. In standard names "ketones" 
is the term used to describe the group of ketone species that are represented 
within a given model. The list of individual species that are included in a 
quantity having a group chemical standard name can vary between models. Where 
possible, the data variable should be accompanied by a complete description of 
the species represented, for example, by using a comment attribute." [source 
for first sentences: Wikipedia]"

l) * organic_acids need to be defined: "An organic acid is an organic compound 
with acidic properties. The most common organic acids are the carboxylic acids, 
whose acidity is associated with their carboxyl group -COOH. In standard names 
"organic_acids" is the term used to describe the group of organic acid species 
that are represented within a given model. The list of individual species that 
are included in a quantity having a group chemical standard name can vary 
between models. Where possible, the data variable should be accompanied by a 
complete description of the species represented, for example, by using a 
comment attribute." [source for first sentences: Wikipedia]""
