18 Urban Photochemistry OH Radical Cycle Air Toxics Ozone Acid Rain Visibility PM2.5 WaterQuality. OH NOx + VOC + OH + hv ---> O 3 SOx [or NOx] + NH 3 + OH ---> (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 [or NH 4 NO 3 ] SO 2 + OH ---> H 2 SO 4 NO 2 + OH ---> HNO 3 VOC + OH ---> Orgainic PM OH Air Toxics (POPs, Hg(II), etc.) Fine PM (Nitrate, Sulfate, Organic PM) NOx + SOx + OH (Lake Acidification, Eutrophication)

19 Urban Photochemistry NO x to VOC Emission Ratio

20 Urban Photochemistry NO x -VOC-Ozone Cycle  Organic radical production and photolysis of NO 2  VOC’s and N-species compete for OH radical

21 Urban Photochemistry NO x -VOC-Ozone Cycle  In polluted environment, CO contributes to O 3 production

22 Urban Photochemistry NO x -VOC-Ozone Cycle  HCHO – primary intermediate in VOC-HO x chemistry  Short lived and indicator of primary VOC emissions

23 Urban Photochemistry NO x -VOC-Ozone Cycle  Organic radical production and photolysis of NO 2  VOC’s and N-species compete for OH radical  In polluted environment, CO contributes to O 3 production  HCHO – primary intermediate in VOC-HO x chemistry  Short lived and indicator of primary VOC emissions

24 Urban Photochemistry NO x -VOC-Ozone Cycle O 3 Cycle STEM Box Model Calculations For City of Seoul, O 3 Cycle STEM Box Model Calculations For City of Shanghai Units: ppbv/hr

25 Urban Photochemistry NO x -VOC-Ozone Cycle O 3 Cycle STEM Box Model Calculations Downwind Site from Shanghai O 3 Cycle STEM Box Model Calculations Downwind Site from Dhaka Units: ppbv/hr

26 CO Vs VOC: Megacity points from back trajectories  CO produced due to photolysis of HCHO, a short lived intermediate from reactions between VOC and HO x  High O 3 and CO concentrations are linked with high VOC concentrations, especially with urban plume age < 1.0 day Urban Photochemistry Species to Species Comparison

27 Urban Photochemistry NO x -VOC Sensitivity Implications VOC limited  Ozone production in the urban plumes is VOC limited  Decrease in NO x may actually increase local O 3 production criteria pollutant  Though at present, NO x is contributing less to local O 3 mixing ratios, it is contributing to local NO 2 mixing ratios (health criteria pollutant) and to O 3 production at downwind sites.

28 Urban Photochemistry NO x -VOC Sensitivity to O 3 Production VOC sensitive NOx sensitive Loss(N)/(Loss(N)+Loss(R)) Model NOx (ppbv) Model results along the flight path Megacity points from back trajectories Klienman et al., 2000 Less than 2 day old plumes
