Abstract |
Carbon Monoxide is commonly thought of as a local pollutant affecting relatively small geographic area. Since most CO emissions result from the operation of motor vehicles; high CO concentrations are associated with the congested areas of large urban central business districts. In the presence of moderate winds and in the absence of a continuing source of emissions, ambient CO concentrations diminish fairly quickly. High concentrations measured during evening rush hour traffic, for example, often diminish to background concentration levels between three and six a.m. Against this background, certain meteorological conditions could cause CO to accumulate over a large area. If such meteorological conditions persisted long enough, background levels might eventually become a significant proportion of the total CO budget. This would imply that CO is not only a 'hot spot' (localized) problem, but is sometimes an area wide problem as well. It would also imply that vehicle traffic on one day might contribute to high ambient CO concentrations on the next day. |
