Photochemical pollution in Australian airsheds

This report examines the factors which control the formation of photochemical smog in urban airsheds and reviews the present situation which exists in major Australian cities. Laboratory simulations of photochemical smog formation are carried out in smog chambers in order to provide the necessary understanding of these ozone precursor relationships. The results of these studies are reviewed in this work and their implications for Australian airsheds are discussed. The results appear to indicate that the beneficial aspects of ADR 27a are likely to be minimal, and point up the strong need to develop smog chamber studies which examine ozone precursor relationships for conditions appropriate to Australian cities as an aid to policy decisions (a).
