An Estimate of Regional and Global O sub(3) Damage from Precursor NO sub(x) and VOC Emissions

Two mathematical models-the EMEP model and the Harwell Global Ozone Model-were used to link incremental ozone to incremental precursor emissions. Each of the models is described. The models were used to assess the health impacts; agricultural impacts; global O sub(3) impacts due to VOCs, carbon mono...

Description
Summary:Two mathematical models-the EMEP model and the Harwell Global Ozone Model-were used to link incremental ozone to incremental precursor emissions. Each of the models is described. The models were used to assess the health impacts; agricultural impacts; global O sub(3) impacts due to VOCs, carbon monoxide, and methane; and O sub(3) impacts on materials. Results showed that the damage per ton of VOC was about 16% lower than that per ton of nitrogen oxides. The damage costs were determined to be approximately $1875 and $1100 per Mg of nitrogen dioxide and VOC, respectively.
