Reactivity-Based VOC Control for Solvent Products: More Efficient Ozone Reduction Strategies [PDF]
It has been almost 40 years since scientists and regulators began to publicly recognize that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) differ in their potential to form ozone. Since 1977, our understanding of the mechanisms by which VOCs contribute to ozone formation has grown substantially.

Surface and lightning sources of nitrogen oxides over the United States: Magnitudes, chemical evolution, and outflow [PDF]
We use observations from two aircraft during the ICARTT campaign over the eastern United States and North Atlantic during summer 2004, interpreted with a global 3-D model of tropospheric chemistry (GEOS-Chem) to test current understanding of regional ...

Improved Ozonation Efficiency for Polymerization Mother Liquid from Polyvinyl Chloride Production Using Tandem Reactors [PDF]
Polymerization mother liquid (PML) is one of the main sources of wastewater in the chlor-alkali industry. The effective degradation of the PML produced in PVC polymerization using three or five ozone reactors in tandem was designed with a focus on improving the ozonation efficiency. The ozonation efficiency of the tandem reactors for the degradation of

Phenol degradation using 20, 300 and 520 kHz ultrasonic reactors with hydrogen peroxide, ozone and zero valent metals [PDF]
The extent of phenol degradation by the advanced oxidation process in the presence of zero valent iron (ZVI) and zero valent copper (ZVC) was studied using 20, 300 and 520 kHz ultrasonic (US) reactors.

Production of Secondary Organic Aerosol During Aging of Biomass Burning Smoke From Fresh Fuels and Its Relationship to VOC Precursors [PDF]
After smoke from burning biomass is emitted into the atmosphere, chemical and physical processes change the composition and amount of organic aerosol present in the aged, diluted plume. During the fourth Fire Lab at Missoula Experiment, we performed smog-

A Study of Tropospheric Ozone over China with a 3-D Global CTM Model
A global 3-D CTM model (OsloCTM2) has been used to study the tropospheric ozone distribution and budget over China. An area covering China and most of East Asia is chosen as the study area. Because of the very nevenly distributed emissions and population
