Ozone pollution near Earth’s surface is one of the main ingredients of summertime smog. Determining effective strategies for mitigating surface ozone (O 3 ) pollution requires knowledge of the relative ambient concentrations of its precursors, NO x , and VOCs.

TRUs and TRU gensets emit diesel PM, NO x , greenhouse gases and other pollutants. ARB adopted the TRU Airborne Toxic Control Measure in 2004, with amendments in 2010 and 2011, to reduce PM emissions from TRU units. TRU gensets are typically engine-powered generators designed to provide power to electrically driven refrigeration units.
