Ambient ozone concentrations in the New York Metropolitan area, encompassing portions of the States of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, often exceeded the ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 0.12 ppm during the 1980 ozone season. To address this problem a study, entitled Oxidant Modeling for the New York Metropolitan Area Project (OMNYMAP) has been undertaken to provide information on the extent and magnitude of the ozone problem in the New York Metropolitan area during the 1988 ozone season; the impact/benefit achieved with imposition of specific control strategies to which the three states committed themselves in their State Implementation Plans; the role of pollutant transport from the upwind regions into the modeling domain; meaningful and effective control strategies to meet and maintain ozone NAAQS in the New York Metropolitan area.
