New experiments improve accuracy of ozone predictions in air-quality models

A team of scientists led by researchers from the California Institute of Technology and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have fully characterized a key chemical reaction that affects the formation of pollutants in smoggy air. The findings suggest that in the most polluted parts of Los Angeles—and on the most polluted days in those areas—current models are underestimating ozone levels, by between 5 to 10 percent.
