Abstract

Abstract This study develops and validates a photochemical trajectory model (PTM) coupled with the master chemical mechanism (MCM) (Derwent and Malcolm, 2000) to simulate the transportation of an air parcel and the chemical reactions within it. Using the West Midlands, UK conurbation as a case study, a 1×1 km emissions inventory for isoprene and monoterpenes based upon a land class survey (Donovan, 2003) is incorporated into the PTM, leading to the evaluation of the effects of locally produced biogenic VOCs (BVOCs) upon levels of ozone and particulate matter (PM).
