8-Hour Ozone and PM2.5 Modeling to Support the Georgia SIP: 

8-Hour Ozone and PM2.5 Modeling to Support the Georgia SIP James Boylan, Amit Marmur, Maudood Khan, and Dan Cohan VISTAS Joint Work Group Meeting Durham, NC September 23, 2005

Slide2: 

Attainment Status in Georgia Ozone non-attainment areas PM2.5 non-attainment areas

Slide3: 

Air Quality in Atlanta Ozone 4th highest values (1997-2004) Design value (JST): 17.4 g/m3 PM2.5 composition (2001-2003)

Future Ozone Design Values: 

Future Ozone Design Values Calculated for all sites in Georgia 2002 and 2009 BaseD emissions 5-year weighted Design Values RRF cut-off of 85 ppb when > 10 days Used maximum value in 3 x 3 matrix

Future Ozone Design Values: 

Future Ozone Design Values *Need ozone buffer below 85 ppb (e.g., 4 ppb in Atlanta)
