This assessment report looks into all aspects of anthropogenic emissions of black carbon and
tropospheric ozone precursors, such as methane.
The emission data on the RCPs were harmonized and downscaled (to a 0.5 × 0.5 grid) for air pollutants, i.e. aerosols and
tropospheric ozone precursors.

Plants emit volatile compounds, which are
tropospheric ozone and aerosol
precursors.
«While it is well understood that increases in CH4, NOx, CO and NMVOCs have driven up
tropospheric ozone, only one model has previously explored the relative contributions of these different
precursors (Shindell et al., 2005, 2009).
There are enough health - damaging pollutants in the air today such that, if they (
tropospheric ozone, its principal
precursor methane, black soot, and some other trace gases that contribute to the global warming) were reduced by feasible amounts, the planet's energy balance could be restored, or nearly so.

For
tropospheric ozone, uncertainties in physical processes are more important than uncertainties in
precursor emissions.
«We use 1280 years of control simulation, with constant preindustrial forcings including constant specified CO2, and a five - member ensemble of historical simulations from 1850 — 2005 including prescribed historical greenhouse gas concentrations, SO2 and other aerosol -
precursor emissions, land use changes, solar irradiance changes,
tropospheric and stratospheric
ozone changes, and volcanic aerosol (ALL), following the recommended CMIP5 specifications.
Because methane and VOCs are both
ozone precursors, and are released by many of the same sources in the oil and gas sector, reductions will help reduce
tropospheric ozone.
