Tropospheric Ozone Abatement Developing Efficient Strategies for the Reduction of Ozone Precursor Emissions in Europe

Tropospheric Ozone Abatement Developing Efficient Strategies for the Reduction of Ozone Precursor Emissions in Europe / edited by Rainer Friedrich, Stefan Reis.

The occurrence of high concentrations of ozone during summer episodes in the troposphere over Europe is a problem still unsolved. Although a number· of measures have been implemented that will achieve a further reduction of precursor emissions in the next years, this will not be sufficient to reduce...
