Data Analysis of Organics and Other Sources (Volatile Chemical Products) in the California South Coast Air Basin
Principal Investigator/Author: John Seinfeld
Contractor: California Institute of Technology
Contract number: 22RD015
Relevant CARB programs: California State Implementation Plans
Topic areas: Air Pollution Exposure, State Implementation Plans (SIPs), Particulate Matter (PM), PM2.5, Emissions Data
Research Summary:
Caltech researchers are investigating air quality in the South Coast Air Basin, focusing on understanding the impact of a special type of chemicals called volatile chemical products. They are using field measurements, lab experiments, and computer models to analyze data collected during a 2021 research campaign. By identifying and studying these chemicals, they aim to grasp their effects on air pollution and contribute to cleaner air in California.
