Hydrocarbon ratios and photochemical history of air masses
Mckeen, SA; Liu, SC
1,993
An effective and commonly used technique for studying the sources, photochemistry, and even the ``photochemical age' of trace species is to examine ratios of hydrocarbons by assuming the ratio is independent of transport processes. We present results from mesoscale model calculations that suggest a significant effect b...

Dose-response studies with ethylenediurea (EDU) and radish
Kostka-Rick, R; Manning, WJ
1,993
There is some concern that the antiozonant ethylenediurea (EDU), used for crop loss assessment due to ambient ozone (03) may per se affect plant growth and yield In view of this, and to provide knowledge for later field experiments, dose-response studies with EDU and 03 were carried out in greenhouses in winter and spr...

Branch growth and leaf gas exchange of Populus tremula exposed to low ozone concentrations throughout two growing seasons
Matyssek, R; Keller, T; Koike, T
1,993
During two consecutive growing seasons, the same potted individuals of European aspen (Populus tremula), grown from root cuttings of one clone, were fumigated with either ambient air or ozone concentrations of 0 (control), 0.05 or 0.1 mulitre litre-1. Structure and biomass of the annually formed branches were ana...

Fading of artists' colorants by a mixture of photochemical oxidants
Grosjean, D; Grosjean, E; Williams EL, II
1,993
Thirty-five artists' colorants were exposed for 12 weeks, in the dark, to a mixture of photochemical oxidants including ozone (200 ppb), nitrogen dioxide (75 ppb) and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN, 15 ppb) at ambient temperature and humidity. Color changes were measured weekly using a reflectance color analyser and were al...

Ambient ozone causes upper airways inflammation in children
Frischer, TM; Kuehr, J; Pullwitt, A; Meinert, R; Forster, J; Studnicka, M; Koren, H
1,993
Ozone constitutes a major air pollutant in Western Europe. During the summer national air quality standards are frequently exceeded, which justifies concern about the health effects of ozone at ambient concentrations. We studied upper airways inflammation after ozone exposure in 44 children by repeated nasal lavages fr...

Trends and patterns in lake acidification in the state of Vermont: evidence from the long-term monitoring project
Stoddard, JL; Kellogg, JH
1,993
Twenty-four low acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) lakes in Vermont have been monitored since 1980 to characterize their chemical variability, and to determine if they exhibit temporal trends in acid/base chemistry. Many of the lakes exhibit significant decreasing trends in SO42- and base cation (C(B)) concentrations, bu...

Growth responses of ponderosa pine to long-term exposure to ozone, wet and dry acidic deposition, and drought
Temple, PJ; Riechers, GH; Miller, PR; Lennox, RW
1,993
A 3-year field study of the cumulative effects of ozone (O3), wet and dry acidic deposition, and soil water availability was conducted on ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) in the Sierra Nevada of California from 1988 to 1990. Thirty-six 2-year-old potted seedlings were placed in each of 30 chambers and exposed fro...

Product formation from the gas-phase reactions of OH radicals and O3 with "beta"-phellandrene
Hakola, H; Shorees, B; Arey, J; Atkinson, R
1,993
4-Isopropyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one was identified as a product of the gas-phase reactions of beta-phellandrene with OH radicals (in the presence of NO(x)) and with ozone, and formation yields of 0.29 +/- 0.07 and 0.29 +/- 0.06, respectively, were determined. Sampling several 500-L volumes from the reaction chamber onto pol...

An improved direct method of rubber cracking analysis for estimating 24-hour ozone levels
Serrano, E; Castro, M; Macias, A
1,993
None of the numerous referenced experiments carried out since the 1940s for the study of the characteristic ozone-induced cracking that occurs on the surface of rubber materials subjected to strain, are appropriate for the estimation of moderate to low ozone concentrations in air over 24-h periods. Given this situati...

Evidence for large upward trends of ultraviolet-B radiation linked to ozone depletion
Kerr, JB; Mcelroy, CT
1,993
Spectral measurements of ultraviolet-B radiation made at Toronto since 1989 indicate that the intensity of light at wavelengths near 300 nanometers has increased by 35 percent per year in winter and 7 percent per year in summer. The wavelength dependence of these trends indicates that the increase is caused by the down...

Regressor diagnostics for the errors-in-variables model--an application to the health effects of pollution
Klepper, S; Kamlet, MS; Frank, RG
1,993
Diagnostics designed to probe the biases in regressor coefficient estimates due to measurement error in the regressors are applied to two studies of the health effects of pollution exposure. The diagnostics indicate that inferences about the effects of pollution exposure are more sensitive to measurement error in the s...
