Development of a Next-generation Environmental Chamber Facility for Chemical Mechanism and Voc Reactivity Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective this EPA-funded project is to develop an environmental chamber facility that is needed for studies of photochemical air pollution formation under more realistic conditions and with more comprehensive measurements than previously has been possible. This facility can then be employed for evaluating gas-phase and gas-to-particle atmospheric reaction mechanisms, for determining how best to use ambient measurement data for predicting effects of control strategies, and for evaluating the reliability of ambient measurement instrumentation.

متن کاملStatus of Research on Voc Reactivity in the United States
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 cla...
متن کاملResearch Plan for “next Generation Environmental Chamber Facility for Chemical Mechanism and Voc Reactivity Evaluation
A critical component for predictions of formation of ozone and other secondary pollutant formation in the atmosphere is the chemical mechanism, i.e., the portion of the airshed models used to represent the chemical reactions involved. This is because the chemistry is the source of much of the complexity and non-linearity involved. Because many of the chemical reactions are incompletely understo...

CERT) and the Mexican Petroleum Institute (IMP) have been carried out. The areas of collaboration were in air quality modeling simulation, environmental chamber experimentation, and chemical reaction mechanisms. During the two-year UCMEXUS project the IMP researchers visited CE-CERT on two separate occasions. Extensive discussions concerning these research areas were held and direct participati...
