Additions and Corrections to the Saprc-99 Maximum Incremental Reactivity (mir) Scale
نویسنده
چکیده
The Maximum Incremental Reactivity (MIR) and other reactivity scales given by Carter (2000) has been recalculated after correcting minor errors in the mechanism generation system and to add several new compounds as requested by the California Air Resources Board and others. A total of 19 types of VOCs have been added, the MIRs for 11 VOCs changed by more than 2% but less than 10%, and the MIR for 2-methyl-2-butene-3-ol decreased by 24%. The changes and additions are summarized on Table 1, and the complete updated scale is available by ftp at ftp://cert.ucr.edu/pub/carter/r99tab2.xls.

Estimation of Ozone Reactivities for Volatile Organic Compound Speciation Profiles in the Speciate 4 . 2 Database Prepared
Incremental reactivities for ground-level ozone formation were assigned for all volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions profiles in the Speciate 4.3 database. Best estimate and upper and lower limit reactivity values are given for the maximum incremental reactivity (MIR), maximum ozone incremental reactivity (MOIR) and equal benefit incremental reactivity (EBIR) calculated using the latest ve...
متن کاملPrepared for California Air Resources Board Prepared
A condensed version of the SAPRC-07 mechanism (Carter, 2008) was implemented in a 3-D air quality model and applied to the Los Angeles area as part of the present review. The CIT airshed model was used; see Martien et al. (2003 and 2006) for description of model input data. The summer 1997 emission inventory was used here. Martien et al. used an extended version of SAPRC-99 that had many indivi...
متن کاملThe ozone productivity of n-propyl bromide: Part 2--An exception to the Maximum Incremental Reactivity Scale.
In an earlier paper the ozone-forming potential of n-propyl bromide (NPB) was studied with a new methodology designed to address issues associated with a marginal smog-forming compound. However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) subsequently revised its policy and now recommends using the Maximum Incremental Reactivity (MIR) scale to rank the ozone-forming potential of all volatile...
متن کاملEnvironmental Chamber Studies of Voc Species in Architectural Coatings and Mobile Source Emissions
Environmental chamber experiments were carried out to assess the atmospheric ozone and particle matter (PM) impacts of selected representative VOCs emitted from architectural coatings. The UCR EPA environmental chamber was employed for the ozone and PM impact experiments, and most consisted of incremental reactivity experiments carried out at NO x levels of 25-30 ppb and at ambient surrogate RO...

In this paper the taxonomy of some previously reported taxa as Cercospora apii s.lat. in Iran, is discussed and some new records are listed. Cercospora species on Abelia grandiflora (C. deutziae), Erythrina crista-galli (C. erythrinicola), Euphorbia heterophylla (C. pulcherrimae) and Zanthedeschia aethiopica (C. richardiicola) are new for mycobiota of Iran. Cercospora iridis which was previousl...
