[1] We investigate the effects on U.S. ozone air quality from 2000–2050 global changes in climate and anthropogenic emissions of ozone precursors by using a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) driven by meteorological fields from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies general circulation model (NASA/GISS GCM). We follow the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change A1B scenario an...

Two organometallic compounds containing zinc and manganese in different ratios are used as single-source precursors for the preparation of various new, bimetallic oxide materials with nanoscaled dimensions. It is shown that the materials synthesis can be performed in the solid-state, the liquid-phase, and even in the gas-phase. The molecular composition of the precursors determines the composit...

Large-scale agricultural activities have come under scrutiny for possible contributions to the emission of ozone precursors. The San Joaquin Valley (SJV) of California is an area with intense agricultural activity that exceeds the federal ozone standards for more than 30 to 40 d yr(-1) and the more stringent state standards for more than 100 d yr(-1). Pesticides are used widely in both agricult...

The end of the 20th century brought about drastic changes in tropospheric ozone (O3) around globe. It is, therefore, highly important to gain insight into O3 formation mechanisms and their key precursors order assist policymaking combat pollution. This article synthesizes a bibliometric analysis sensitivity from 1965 2022, reported English language journals available Web Science Core Collection...

We present the chemistry-climate model UM CAM in which a relatively detailed tropospheric chemical module has been incorporated into the UK Met Office’s Unified Model version 4.5. We obtain good agreements between the modelled ozone/nitrogen species and a range of observations including surface ozone measurements, ozone sonde data, and some aircraft campaigns. Four 2100 calculations assess mode...

BACKGROUND Despite abatement programs of precursors implemented in many industrialized countries, ozone remains the principal air pollutant throughout the northern hemisphere with background concentrations increasing as a consequence of economic development in former or still emerging countries and present climate change. Some of the highest ozone concentrations are measured in regions with a M...

OBJECTIVES While there is good evidence for associations between short-term exposure to ozone and a range of adverse health outcomes, the evidence from narrative reviews for long-term exposure is suggestive of associations with respiratory mortality only. We conducted a systematic, quantitative evaluation of the evidence from cohort studies, reporting associations between long-term exposure to ...

Characteristics of biogenic VOC as well as methodology of BVOC emission estimation are presented in this article. Biogenic emissions of VOC were estimated using semi-empirical model proposed by Guenther et al., 1995. Terms of formation, amount, spatial distribution of tropospheric ozone and the contribution of biogenic sources of VOC to ozone precursors were studied using numerical model for su...

Here we report a modelling study of the spring ozone maximum and its interhemispheric asymmetry in the remote marine boundary layer (MBL). The modelled results are examined at the surface and on a series of time-height cross sections at several locations spread over the Atlantic, the Indian, and the Pacific Oceans. Comparison of model with surface measurements at remote MBL stations indicate a ...
