The impact of biogenic VOC emissions on tropospheric ozone formation in the Mid- Atlantic region of the United States
In many areas, natural sources contribute a substantial fraction of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which are precursors to tropospheric ozone (O3). To investigate the significance of biogenic VOC emissions on ozone formation, meteorological and air quality modelling were used to generate hourly ozone estimates for a case-study high ozone episode in the Mid-Atlantic region of the Uni...
متن کاملIncreasing background ozone in surface air over the United States
The long-term trend of background O3 in surface air over the United States from 1980 to 1998 is examined using monthly probability distributions of daily maximum 8hour average O3 concentrations at a large ensemble of rural sites. Ozone concentrations have decreased at the high end of the probability distribution (reflecting emission controls) but have increased at the low end. The cross-over ta...
متن کاملUsing air quality modeling to study source-receptor relationships between nitrogen oxides emissions and ozone exposures over the United States.
Human exposure to ambient ozone (O(3)) has been linked to a variety of adverse health effects. The ozone level at a location is contributed by local production, regional transport, and background ozone. This study combines detailed emission inventory, air quality modeling, and census data to investigate the source-receptor relationships between nitrogen oxides (NO(x)) emissions and population e...
متن کاملBiogenic carbon and anthropogenic pollutants combine to form a cooling haze over the southeastern United States.
Remote sensing data over North America document the ubiquity of secondary aerosols resulting from a combination of primary biogenic and anthropogenic emissions. The spatial and temporal distribution of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) over the southeastern United States cannot be explained by anthropogenic aerosols alone, but is consistent with the spatial distribution, seasonal distribution, an...
متن کاملSource Apportionment of Diesel Particulate Matter in the Southeastern United States Using Models3/CMAQ
Source apportionment of fine particulate matter is important to identify the sources that are responsible for the ambient concentrations observed in a particular area. The fine and ultra fine sizes of diesel particulate matter (DPM) are of greatest health concern, which significantly contributes to the overall cancer risk from air toxics. The composition of these fine and ultra fine particles i...
