INFLUENCE OF SULFUR DIOXIDE ON SURFACE OZONE IN BELARUS
Abstract
Information on anthropogenic air pollution with sulfur dioxide in Belarus and on its influence on the formation of the observed concentration of groundlevel ozone is presented. The problem was solved by constructing a regression equation approximating the dependence of the groundlevel ozone concentration on meteorological conditions and ozone precursors. The presence of sulfur dioxide in urban air leads to a decrease in the concentration of groundlevel ozone due to the binding of nitrogen dioxide. It is the photolysis of the latter that is the source of atomic oxygen and the subsequent generation of ozone. A feature of the regression equation is investigated when taking into account a factor that negatively affects groundlevel ozone sometimes leads to an increase in its calculated concentrations.
