Ozone production and hydrocarbon reactivity in Hong Kong, Southern China
Data obtained in Hong Kong during the Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta (PRD) Pilot Air Monitoring Study in autumn 2002 are analyzed to unravel the relationship between ground-level ozone (O3), pollution precursors, and cross-border transport. Ten ozone episodes, during which the hourly O3 concentration exceeded 100 ppbv in 9 cases and 90 ppbv in one case, are subject to detailed analysis, in...
متن کاملIncreasing surface ozone concentrations in the background atmosphere of Southern China, 1994–2007
Tropospheric ozone is of great importance with regard to air quality, atmospheric chemistry, and climate change. In this paper we report the first continuous record of surface ozone in the background atmosphere of South China. The data were obtained from 1994 to 2007 at a coastal site in Hong Kong, which is strongly influenced by the outflow of Asian continental air during the winter and the in...
متن کاملSimulation and analysis of high ozone episodes observed in the Hong Kong airshed: An explicit model approach
The analysis and forecast of elevated boundary layer ozone is of particular concern since it is known to have adverse effects on health, vegetation and material. The main contributors to the formation of photochemical smog, and high ozone levels are the emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and NOx. There is a complex relationship between VOC and NOx leading to ozone generation, which v...
متن کاملSource Apportionment Of High Reactive Volatile Organic Compounds In a Region With The Massive Hydrocarbon Processing Industries
In the Persian Gulf region, conditions are highly favorable for ozone air pollution and the region is a hot spot of photochemical smog. The vast activities in processing oil and gas play a major role in it. It was found that the elevated concentrations of reactive hydrocarbons co-emitted with nitrogen oxides from Hydrocarbon Processing facilities lead to substantial ozone production. South Pars...
متن کاملEducational Values and the English Language Curriculum in Hong Kong Secondary Schools Since 1975
English is an important language in Hong Kong, an international city located on the southern coast of the People’s Republic of China that, for over 150 years to 1997, was a British colony. This paper describes and analyses changes in teaching methodologies in the English language curriculum formally proposed for Hong Kong junior secondary schools from 1975 to the present day, to study how the c...
