VOC reactivity in central California: comparing an air quality model to ground-based measurements
Volatile organic compound (VOC) reactivity in central California is examined using a photochemical air quality model (the Community Multiscale Air Quality model; CMAQ) and ground-based measurements to evaluate the contribution of VOC to photochemical activity. We classify VOC into four categories: anthropogenic, biogenic, aldehyde, and other oxygenated VOC. Anthropogenic and biogenic VOC consis...
متن کاملEvaluation and Characterisation of Reactivity Metrics
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 کاملCalifornia’s Reactivity Program
This presentation will touch on four aspects of California's reactivity program. First, it will cover ARB's existing Low Emission Vehicle/Clean Fuels regulation and a consumer products regulation which is under development. Second, it will provide a very brief summary of some of the research the California Air Resources Board (ARB) is currently funding in the field of reactivity. Lastly, it wil...
متن کاملReactivity of Organic Gases
Tropospheric ozone, lot-med from nonlinear reactions between VOC5 and nitrogen oxides (NOr), is a primarr constituent of urban smog (1). Estimates of VOC control costs needed to attain the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone of 0.12 parts per million are on the order of billions of dollars per year, and in the most severely impacted region~, the necessary control technologie...
متن کاملRecent Research on Voc Ozone Reactivity
Control policies that take into account differences among VOCs in their relative effects on O3 formation have been adopted in California and are being considered by the United States EPA. These require a means to quantitatively rank VOCs by reactivity, which has policy and scientific difficulties. Among the policy issues is the fact that relative effects of VOCs on O3 depends on ambient conditi...
