Used as a reference standard in analytical testing to identify and quantify α-Pinene in environmental samples, essential oils, and air quality studies. Commonly applied in gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) for calibration and method validation. Ensures accuracy in measuring terpene profiles in natural products, fragrances, and cannabis-related testing. Also supports research in atmospheric chemistry due to α-Pinene's role in forming secondary organic aerosols.
