Abstract
Tropospheric air pollution has impacts on scales ranging from local to global. Reactive intermediates in the oxidation of mixtures of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and oxides of nitrogen (NO
x
) play central roles: the hydroxyl radical (OH), during the day; the nitrate radical (NO
3
), at night; and ozone (O
3
), which contributes during the day and night. Halogen atoms can also play a role during the day. Here the implications of the complex VOC-NO
x
chemistry for O
3
control are discussed. In addition, OH, NO
3
, and O
3
are shown to play a central role in the formation and fate of airborne toxic chemicals, mutagenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and fine particles.
