Effects of Uncertainty in SAPRC90 Rate Constants and Selected Product Yields on Reactivity Adjustment Factors for Alternative Fuel Vehicle Emissions

NREL

Research output: NLR › Subcontract Report

Abstract

Tropospheric ozone is formed in the atmosphere by a series of reactions that involve volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). NOx emissions are composed primarily of NO and NO2, but hundreds of VOCs are being emitted. Generally, VOCs promote ozone formation; however, the rate and extent of ozone produced by VOCs vary considerably.
