Efforts to develop chemical kinetic mechanisms to describe the formation of photochemical smog are discussed. Detailed mechanisms for the atmospheric reactions of toluene, m-xylene, propene, ethene, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were constructed from available experimental and chemical kinetic data. These mechanisms were used to simulate smog chamber data from the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center at the University of California, Riverside and the outdoor facility of the University of North Carolina.
