Abstract

It is a well-known fact now that photochemical oxidants are produced, transported and deposited on continental scales. The large-scale distribution of photochemical pollution implies that adequate abatement strategies must have a more global character. Suitable transport models can give substantial support to the development of adequate control strategies.
