Ozone Transport Assessment Group

Ozone Transport Assessment Group by Susan Johnson Download PDF EPUB FB2

The Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG) has been working for the past year to develop an overall approach to the reduction of transported ozone and nitrogen oxides.

Although the recommendations are not final, there is an emerging consensus on several points. Abstract: The Environmental Council of the States, in conjunction with the Ozone Transport Assessment Group book. Environmental Protection Agency, established the Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG).

The goal of OTAG is to identify and recommend a strategy to reduce transported ozone and its precursors which, in combination with other measures, will enable attainment and maintenance of the ozone National Ambient Air.

Results from the Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG) investigation add to the available weight of evidence that transboundary transport exists and point to the need for significant broad- based reductions in NO x emissions.

RES Supporting the Consideration by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of Information From the Ozone Transport Assessment Group in the Development of EPA's Proposed Rulemaking to Reduce Interstate Ozone Transport Approved Janu Ozone Transport Assessment Group To address the issue of long-range transport, EPA conceived of a grand strategy similar to the OTC process.

EPA Air and Radiation chief Mary Nichols set forth the strategy in a March 2, memorandum. their efforts through the Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG). The State representatives worked with members of the U.S. Enviro nmental Protection Agency (EPA) and various stakeholders in OTAG's meetings to address the ozone transport issue.

In Julythe States in OTAG reach ed a set of conclusions about the nature. The Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG) has identified ozone transport as a contributor to ozone exceedances in the eastern U.S.

EPA has issued the NOx SIP Call that requires deep NOx emission controls on major stationary sources (mainly utility sources) as a “cost-effective”.

Speight, in Environmental Organic Chemistry for Engineers, Smog, Air Quality, and Acid Rain. Smog and poor air quality is a pressing environmental problem, particularly for large metropolitan cities. Smog, the primary constituent of which is ground level ozone, is formed by a chemical reaction of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and heat from sunlight.
