Description:
Emission estimates of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from naturalsources (biogenic emissions) are comparable to emissions fromanthropogenic sources in some regions of the U.S. esults from aprevious modeling study indicated that inclusion of biogenicemissions can substantially increase anthropogenic VOC controlrequirements needed to lower peak ozone to the level of theNational Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). he resultsreported here were developed from analyses based on the UrbanAirshed Model (UAM), a gridded photochemical simulation modeloffering a more complete characterization of the processes leadingto ozone formation than the model used in the previous study. Results from a series of simulations conducted in parallel vith andwithout biogenic emissions are presented.
