Diurnal fluctuations of ozone concentrations and its precursors and prediction of ozone using multiple linear regressions

Abstract

The chemical reaction of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere leads to a variety of oxidized products, which are commonly referred to as secondary pollutants. Ground level ozone is a known secondary photochemical pollutant of major importance possessing detrimental effects on health, agriculture, natural/urban ecosystems and materials. Ozone (O3) can irritate lung airways and cause inflammation much like sunburn. Hourly and monthly variations of O3 and their precursors-nitrogen oxides (NOx) and meteorological parameters (temperature and wind speed) were presented using time series plots.
