| Abstract |
This report summarizes the results of a modeling study designed to examine the effects of implementing measures to reduce the magnitude of the urban heat island on ozone air quality in cities located throughout the northeastern U.S. Two measures that have been identified as part of the EPA Heat Island Reduction Initiative (HIRI) program to be potentially effective in reducing the high temperatures associated with an urban heat island are (1) use of reflective roof and paving material and (2) increased vegetation cover (e.g., tree planting). |
