Scientific and Technical Issues Facing Post-1987 Ozone Control Strategies: A Conference Summary

摘要

The report summarizes the presentations given at an International Specialty Conference on tropospheric ozone and ozone control strategies. The conference opened with a plenary session, which focused on the questions why have the authors not achieved the standard and where do they go from here. Following the plenary session, concurrent sets of sessions were held for the remainder of the conference. One set of sessions focused on volatile organic carbon control strategies including low solvent coating, add-on control techniques and monitoring for compliance. A second set of sessions dealt with the scientific aspects of the issue and included: chemical mechanisms, urban- and regional-scale modeling, field studies and data analysis. The highlights of the conference are summarized.
