In the summer of 1995 the Southern Oxidants Study (SOS) conducted the Nashville/Middle Tennessee Ozone Study. This effort, the second SOS urban intensive study, undertook a series of integrated, policy-relevant, state-of-the-science, experiments to better understand the chemistry and meteorology associated with the production, transport, and impacts of tropospheric ozone pollution. The Nashville/Middle Tennessee area, like many urban areas in the US, has a long history of ozone pollution problems. Despite the efforts of local and state regulators, and industries spending tens of millions of pollution control dollars, the Nashville/Middle Tennessee area has not yet attained the national ozone standard. The Nashville/Middle Tennessee area primarily experiences ozone pollution problems in mid-summer. Current ozone management strategies have focused, with limited success, almost exclusively on managing ozone by control of localized, manmade VOC emissions. However, recent scientific consensus, has led to a widespread re-assessment of the ozone issue. Renewed attention is being given to: (1) long-range transport of ozone and ozone-precursors, (2) regional management strategies considering both VOC s and NO{sub x}, and (3) renewed interest in the role of biogenic emissions.
