Wildfires cause ozone pollution to violate health standards, new s...(entists compared their modeling results ...)

Date:10/9/2008

entists compared their modeling results with ozone measurements from a network of EPA ground stations at various sites in California. This enabled them to determine both the number of ozone violations and the extent to which the wildfires contributed to those violations. It also enabled them to verify the accuracy of the model.
