Proposed Ozone Reactivity Metrics to Be Used in Preliminary Rrwg Reactivity Assessments
نویسنده
چکیده
Given below is a summary of the relative ozone impact (reactivity) metrics proposed for use in the presentations of the reactivity modeling data for the regional model calculations the preliminary RRWG reactivity modeling projects. A total of 8 scales will be calculated for each episode, using two different methods to quantify ozone impacts in a cell and four different methods to use the multi-cell impacts to derive a single regional reactivity metric. These impact quantification and aggregation methods, and what is meant by an “episode” is described below.

Investigation of Voc Reactivity Effects Using Existing Regional Air Quality Models
Results to date on an ongoing project to assess VOC reactivity effects in the Eastern United States using the CRC-NARSTO database representing the July-5, 1995 episode and the Carbon Bond mechanism are described. The Direct Decoupled Method (DDM) as implemented in the CAMx model was used to calculate the incremental ozone impacts of 8 Carbon Bond VOC species, CO and ethane, and various methods ...

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report describes the evaluation and characterisation of reactivity metrics to support the United States Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to update its reactivity policy for the attainment of ozone air quality standards. The review is based on three detailed computer modelling studies which taken together have made a significant contribution to basic understandi...
متن کاملA Reactivity Based Emission Inventory for the South Pars and Its Implication for Ozone Pollution Control
The South Pars zone in Iran encompasses the largest gas refineries and petrochemical complexes in the world. In the South Pars zone, elevated concentrations of reactive hydrocarbons co-emitted with nitrogen oxides from industrial facilities lead to substantial ozone production downwind. To understand the role of these emissions on the ozone formation and, to formulate appropriate control st...
