dc.description.abstract | Observations of ozone (O<sub>3</sub>) and O<sub>3</sub> precursors taken from aircraft flights over Houston, TX, Nashville, TN; New York, NY; Phoenix, AZ, and Philadelphia, PA show that high concentrations of reactive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the Houston atmosphere lead to calculated O<sub>3</sub> production rates that are 2 to 5 times higher than in the other 4 cities even though NO<sub>x</sub> concentrations are comparable. Within the Houston metropolitan area, concentrations of VOCs and O<sub>3</sub> production rates are highest in the Ship Channel region; the location of one of the largest petrochemical complexes in the world. As a consequence the concentration of O<sub>3</sub> in the Houston metropolitan area has recently exceeded 250 ppb, the highest value observed in the U.S within the past 5 years | en_US |
