The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced $5,959,842 million in research funding to nine institutions to improve air quality models used to simulate ozone, particulate matter (PM), regional haze, air toxics, and emerging pollutants. It will also inform the development of strategies for improving air quality.

Ozonolysis—the cleavage of carbon-carbon double bonds through reaction with ozone—is a reaction that plays a key role in a number of fields, including synthetic chemistry and tropospheric removal of unsaturated hydrocarbons. —Professor Dudley Shallcross, Professor in Atmospheric Chemistry at The University of Bristol.

Bromine also can remove ozone from the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere. Despite ozone’s beneficial role blocking harmful radiation in the stratosphere, ground-level ozone is a harmful pollutant. Bromine then reacts with a gaseous form of mercury, turning it into a pollutant that falls to Earth’s surface.

And hydroxyls drive long chains of reactions involving other common gases, including ozone. That’s noteworthy because nitrogen oxides have primarily been associated with ozone formation and warming in the past. In the chemical soup of the lower atmosphere, however, sulfur dioxide isn’t the only substance interacting with hydroxyl.

To do so, we employ integrated assessment models (IAMs), which combine insights from multiple scientific disciplines to tabulate source-specific damages for 5 such pollutants that contribute to ambient levels of PM2.5. We do not include damages from morbidity or other pollutants such as exposure to nitrogen oxides (NO x ) or ozone.

The new measurements will provide further insight into hydrocarbon combustion and atmospheric chemistry. For unsaturated hydrocarbons—molecules with at least one C=C double bond—a prominent removal mechanism is reaction with ozone, called ozonolysis. Earlier post.).

The use of petroleum-derived fuels is an important source of reactive gas-phase organic carbon that provides key precursors to the formation of secondary OA (SOA) and tropospheric ozone. We provide the ability to predict emissions of SOA precursors and SOA formation that is consistent with fuel use data and ambient measurements.

Transportation is one of the largest contributors to urban air pollution for pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, benzene, ozone, and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ). As such, cities are a focal point for understanding and addressing environmental health issues. is attributable to motor vehicles.

The finding provides insight into how to make better catalytic converters. Recently, researchers have produced a new zeolite that is surprisingly stable and makes very little nitrous oxide from nitric oxide, a chemical that depletes ozone. This intermediate is very similar to those found in nitrite reductase enzyme systems.

Isoprene, a five-carbon diene formed naturally in plants and animals and a precursor of ozone, contributes more than 40% of these emissions. Wennberg and colleagues also used oxygen isotopes to gain insight into the chemical mechanism yielding epoxides. Isoprene is emitted by many deciduous trees, with oaks playing the biggest role.

As economists and social scientists, we draw two fundamental insights from these examples of forced experimentation. One example where this strategy has been successfully employed is the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer. Such a plan can disarm opposition before it arises.

Furthermore, these simulations provided insights into how IPSR seals would perform under extreme conditions, including exposure to humidity, rapid temperature changes, and prolonged mechanical stress. This predictive approach enabled early detection of potential failure points, allowing for targeted improvements before mass production.
