Volatile Organic Compound Emissions Inventory Evaluation andReconciliation with Ambient Concentrations

该项目的目标是开发一种受体模拟方法，明确说明挥发性有机碳化合物在从排放源转移到受体位置的过程中化学成分的分馏。该项目还包括一项实地研究的设计，该研究将同时为受体建模、评估模型的性能以及将其用于对向环境排放的挥发性有机碳进行清查提供数据。这是一项研究计划拨款，用于支持针对NSF 87-56《女性的研究机会》计划公告而提交的一项提案。该项目解决了确定挥发性有机化合物排放对空气质量的影响的一个重要问题。本提案概述的初步阶段的完成预计将提供必要的信息，以支持旨在评估本项目所开发模型的有效性的实地研究。

The objectives of this project are to develop a receptor modeling method that explicitly accounts for the fractionation in chemical composition of volatile organic carbon compounds that occurs in transit from emission- sources to the receptor location. The project also includes the design of a field study that will simultaneously provide data for receptor modeling, evaluation of the performance of the model, and its use in conducting an inventory of volatile organic carbon releases to the environment. This is a Research Planning Grant made to support a proposal submitted in response to the Program Announcement, NSF 87-56, Research Opportunities for Women. This project addresses an important issue in determining the effect that emissions of volatile organic compounds have on air quality. Completion of the preliminary phase outlined in this proposal is expected to provide the information that is needed to support a field study intended to assess the validity of the model developed in this project.
