Status of Research on Voc Reactivity in the United States
نویسنده
چکیده
An overview of VOC reactivity with respect to ground level ozone formation, and the mechanistic and environmental factors affecting it, are discussed. Methods of quantifying reactivity are described, and the roles of chemical mechanisms and environmental chamber data in reactivity quantification are discussed. A brief summary of ongoing reactivity-related research is presented, which can be classified as basic kinetic and mechanistic studies, environmental chamber studies, and chemical mechanism development. The current status of the reactivity-related environmental chamber and mechanism development research being carried out by the author is summarized, and illustrative examples of recent research results are presented. The development of an updated SAPRC mechanism for VOC reactivity assessment calculations is summarized.

متن کاملSecond-Hand Smoke Exposure at Home in the United States; Minorities’ Diminished Returns
Introduction: Educational attainment and poverty status are two strong socioeconomic status (SES) indicators that protect individuals against exposure to second-hand smoke. Minorities’ Diminished Returns (MDRs), however, refer to smaller protective effects of SES indicators among ethnic minority groups such as Hispanics and Blacks, compared to non-Hispanic Whites. This...
