| Abstract |
Meteorological influences upon air quality trend analyses can complicate the evaluation of air pollution control efforts. It is important to isolate the meteorological effects in order to determine air quality trends as a function of emissions. This report surveys existing methods for meteorologically adjusting air quality trends, including a review of known relationships between specific air pollutants and various meteorological parameters, and presents a recommended methodology to normalize air quality trends with respect to 'typical' year meteorology. Procedures involve the determination of mutually exclusive meteorological classes and the treatment of air quality variables stratified according to the established meteorological classes. A hypothetical example is included to illustrate both the mathematical processes and the interpretation of the methodological results. |
