Abstract
Air quality models are mathematical descriptions of atmospheric transport, diffusion and chemical reaction of pollutants. The unknown variables are concentrations of chemical species in the air. The aims are to be able to predict how peak concentrations will change in response to prescribed changes in meteorology and in the source of pollution. Ozone air quality modeling, commonly referred to as photochemical air quality modeling, has been one of the main areas of emphasis in the United States within the last twenty years. The developments in this area are described in an excellent review article by J.H. Seinfeld [1].
