LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Ground-level ozone (O3), as one of six common air pollutants set by National Ambient Air Quality Standards from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is of great interest due to its health and economical effects. However, O3 contributions from different emission sources are not well understood due to its complicated nonlinear reactions. In this study, O3 source apportionment methods and the applications are firstly reviewed to provide a comprehensive understanding for O3 formations. Application of High-order Decoupled Direct Method (HDDM), brute force method (BFM), O3 source apportionment technology (OSAT) and source-oriented method in O …
