“…Published modeling calculations suggest small-city emissions will not generate significant quantities of excess ozone because dilution is too rapid (17). Yet Spicer et al (18) have reported in-plume ozone buildup downwind of Springfield, IL (population 87000). If small-city plumes do indeed generate excess ozone concentrations, then current State Implementation Plans designed to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone may be inadequate.…”

Results of an aerial monitoring program examining ozone plumes from small cities (population <200000) are presented. Measurements (e.g., ozone, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons) by the instrumented aircraft focused on delineating plume dimensions, composition, and chemistry during the first 6 h of transport. In-plume ozone buildup was noted downwind of some small cities on a routine basis, while only sporadically or not at all for others. Airborne emissions from several small cities were observed to overlap when prevailing winds were from either the north or south. Photochemical ozone was consistently recorded in the combined plume produced by these meteorological conditions. Plume dimensions were on the same order of magnitude as those normally associated with large metropolitan areas.
