“…) All the ozone data were collected by using the chemiluminescence analyzer, and the basic calibration pro- Due to data handling limitations, and our particular interest in high concentrations, only daily maximum ozone concentrations collected from 1980 to 1988 were used in the study, instead of hourly averages. Lindsay et al (1989) have also used the daily maximum ozone concentration data in their analysis of Atlanta ozone. Walker (1985) indicated, after examining various statistics in trend analysis, that the use of the daily maximum statistic has a fair amount of robustness.…”

“…Printed in Great Britain ozone in the urban and rural regions of the USA are increasingly becoming recognized as a major environmental problem. There is increasing evidence that the ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) is not meeting with success, even after a decade of the control program (Abelson, 1988;Chameides et al, 1988;Lindsay et al, 1989). While most regions of the USA occasionally observe high surface ozone concentrations, probably no large region of the country experiences more pervasive high ozone levels than the southeast USA, where c. 40% of the nation's nonattainment areas are found.…”

“…For a more rigorous delta O3 analysis, we need to consider the role of wind speed. Lindsay et al (1989) analyzed high-O3 events in Atlanta, GA, and showed that rural background O3 during episode days ([O3] > 80 ppb) in Atlanta Metropolitan Area were higher 25 than its average and the concentration of O3 increased from ~15-20 ppb when the air mass travelled across the city, enhancing the total O3 concentration to 80-85 ppb. In our study, the concentrations of O3 over the upwind and downwind monitoring sites are averaged during 10:00-16:00 LT in dry season when been a wind reversal so that air already polluted by the metropolitan area was brought back in to the city (Lindsay et al, 1989).…”

“…The District continues to believe that the weight of technical evidence indicates that acceptable air quality in the District requires control of both NO X and ROG. The recent studies in Atlanta, Georgia, 6 the increasing area impacted by adverse ozone air quality on a national basis, 7 and the adverse health effects of NO x -related pollutants is stimulating discussions on the national level to explore the need for more stringent control of NO X . …”

The 1988 Air Quality Management Plan was approved by the Board of the California South Coast Air Quality Management District in March 1989. The District comprises the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside, and the non-desert portion of San Bernardino county. Emissions reductions in the past have lead to significant improvement in air quality despite large increases in growth. However, the District, largely because of continuous growth, currently violates the air quality standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and respirable particulate matter (PMio). Based upon the AQMP, reduction of approximately 80 percent in emissions of oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds is required to bring the District into compliance with all air quality standards in the next twenty years.Achieving compliance will necessitate the use of advanced technologies, as well as some changes in lifestyle and management practices. Advanced technologies, including the use of electric vehicles powered by batteries or fuel cells, the use of cleaner burning fuels and advanced combustion modifications, and treatment of surface coatings and solvents are included in the AQMP.The Technology Advancement Office in the District was created to work with industry, universities, research institutes, and other local, state and federal agencies to identify, evaluate, and promote low emitting fuels and technologies. In addition to electricity, fuels burning cleaner than conventional gasoline or diesel are being tested to obtain emissions and durability data so that rational choices can be made for the future. Compressed natural gas, methanol and liquefied petroleum gas are considered to be cleaner burning fuels for current applications. Ethanol, butane, and various oxygenated blends are being evaluated, and the broader application of solar energy and hydrogen are being investigated.The impact of various cleaner burning fuels on air quality is being addressed. To date, methanol is the only fuel for which results are available. These results indicate that methanol use in vehicles-with control of formaldehyde emissions below 15 mg/mile for light-duty vehicles-can provide air quality benefits for all criteria pollutants and certain air toxics. These benefits are greater for Mioo than Mss.Several District advanced technology programs are described, including a reduction in emissions from paints and coatings, and the demonstration of electric vehicles.
