Controlling Ozone and Fine Particulates: Cost Benefit Analysis with Meteorological Variability
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we develop an integrated cost-benefit analysis framework for ozone and fine particulate control, accounting for variability and uncertainty. The framework includes air quality simulation, sensitivity analysis, stochastic multi-objective air quality management, and stochastic cost-benefit analysis. This paper has two major contributions. The first is the development of stochastic source-receptor (S-R) coefficient matrices for ozone and fine particulate matter using an advanced air quality simulation model (URM-1ATM) and an efficient sensitivity algorithm (DDM-3D). The second is a demonstration of this framework for alternative ozone and PM2.5 reduction policies. Alternative objectives of the stochastic air quality management model include optimization of the net social benefits and maximization of the reliability of satisfying certain air quality goals. We also examine the effect of accounting for distributional concerns.

متن کاملAccounting for local meteorological effects in the ozone time-series of Lovozero (Kola Peninsula)
The relationship between local meteorological conditions and the surface ozone variability was studied by means of statistical modeling, using ozone and meteorological parameters measured at Lovozero (250 m a.s.l., 68.5N, 35.0E, Kola Peninsula) for the period of 1999–2000. The regression model of daily mean ozone concentrations on such meteorological parameters as temperature, relative humidity...

[1] Interannual variation in global tropospheric ozone associated with meteorological variability is characterized in this study using a global chemical transport model CHASER. We focus on five meteorological variability: El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), Arctic Oscillation (AO), Hadley, and monsoon circulations. Results show that the anomaly in tropospheric column...

Ground level ozone, airborne particulates (TSP), carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides and lead are all regulated and monitored closely by the EPA and are termed "criteria air pollutants." They are considered to be some of the most damaging pollutants because they are so prevalent. Their impacts have been studied extensively, and much benefit cost...
