«Enhanced
ozone production in urban areas is a concern because of the population size potentially impacted and because air pollution
levels could be already
elevated due to local and mobile sources,» explains Larsen.
Higher
levels of extinction (41 — 60 %) had effects rivalling those of
ozone, acidification,
elevated CO2 and nutrient pollution.
High
ozone levels downstream of pollution sources can cause
elevated OH radical concentrations, which in turn increases the concentration of condensable species and thus the potential for nucleation.
