Study finds rising temperatures increase risk of unhealthy ozone levels absent sharp cuts in precursors

Green Car Congress

Ozone pollution across the continental United States will become far more difficult to keep in check as temperatures rise, according to new work led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Preliminary global mean CO 2 concentrations in February 2014 were 398.06 Ozone formation. Scenario A2 and RCP 8.5.

Study finds fleet switch from PFI to GDI engines will result in net reduction in global warming

Green Car Congress

We estimate ozone and SOA formation potential. Finally, we analyze the potential climate effects of switching a PFI to a GDI fleet. Therefore, the secondary organic aerosol and ozone formation potential of the exhaust does not depend on engine technology. —Saliba et al. May, Greg T. Drozd, Allen H. Goldstein, Lynn M.
