Measurement of Background Hydrocarbons in Remote Areas. I. Initial Experiments,
Abstract
The volatile terpene emissions from plants have received little investigation. Because recent investigators have shown that ozone levels in remote rural locations can significantly exceed federal air quality standards for extended periods, and many authors believe that non-anthropogenic hydrocarbon emissions are important precursors in ozone production, this study was undertaken to investigate terpene and ozone levels in a remote rural area. Pertinent weather information, temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, incident solar radiation, small particle concentrations, and wind roses are included and correlated to ozone and hydrocarbon concentrations.
