Ozone in the Atmosphere
• Lifetime:– ~1 month– Highly variable – dependent on season,
latitude, altitude, etc.
• Background concentrations:– less than 40 ppbv– can reach over 200 ppb in urban areas

HOx in the Atmosphere
• Lifetime:– ~1 second
– highly variable (same reasons as for O3)
• Typical concentrations:– ~5 x 106 molecules/cm3
– higher over oceans and southern hemisphere• less anthropogenic CO and methane

Peroxyacetylnitrates (PANs)
Organic radicals of the form:
RO
ROO
R(O)OO
can sequester NO2.
The most common is PAN: CH3C(O)OONO2.

NOx in the Atmosphere
• The lifetime of NOx varies, but is about 1 day near the surface and about 1 week in the upper troposphere.
• Concentrations range from a few pptv to 10’s of pptv.– higher concentrations near the ground.
• Urban areas may reach concentrations of 10s of ppbv.

CO Budget
From: Jacob

CO in the Atmosphere
• The lifetime of CO is about 2 months with respect to oxidation by OH
• CO is not well mixed globally– remote concentrations: 50-150 ppbv– over populated continental regions: 100-300
ppbv– in urban centers: > 1ppmv

Methane Budget
From: Jacob
![Page 18: Ozone Budget](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062802/568144e7550346895db1b57f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Methane in the Atmosphere
• The overall lifetime of methane is 8.5 yrs.
• Current concentrations are about 1.8ppmv.– up from 800 ppbv preindustrial
– methane and CO2 concentrations track each other over geological time periods.
![Page 19: Ozone Budget](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062802/568144e7550346895db1b57f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Beyond CO and Methane
• There are literally thousands of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the atmosphere in trace amounts (pptv-ppbv).
• Many have short lifetimes– Low concentrations– Big influence on chemistry
![Page 22: Ozone Budget](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062802/568144e7550346895db1b57f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Biogenic VOCs
Terpene compounds are emitted by trees:
Isoprene
Monoterpene
Sesquiterpene
![Page 23: Ozone Budget](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062802/568144e7550346895db1b57f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Biogenic VOCs
• Globally, about 80% of VOCs emitted to the atmosphere are biogenic.
• Anthropogenic VOCs dominate only in industrial or some urban areas.

Why too much O3 is a bad thing• Health effects:
– Irritation of the lungs (short exposure to high concentrations).
– Permanent lung damage (long-term exposure).– Effects are worst for the elderly and people with
asthma.
• Ecosystem effects:– Reduced photosynthesis (low crop yields).– Increased susceptibility to pests.– Leaf scarring.

Ozone Air Quality Standards
• Federal:– 1 hour maximum concentration = 120 ppbv– 8 hour average maximum concentration = 75 ppbv
• State of California:– 1 hour maximum concentration = 90 ppbv
