Air monitoring program for determination of the impacts of the introduction of California`s Phase 2 reformulated gasoline on ambient air quality in the South Coast Air Basin. Final report
Ambient and source measurements of speciated hydrocarbons, oxygenated organic gases, methane, carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2) were performed during the summers of 1995 and 1996 in the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) to amass the ambient and source data necessary to address the impacts of the introduction of California`s Phase 2 reformulated gasoline (RFG). This project also serves as a component of a broader study to quantify and predict interbasin transport of ozone from the SoCAB and examine the effectiveness of the ozone control strategy in the basin over the last decade. Approximately 240 canisters and carbonyl samples were collected during each summer period of sampling at three different locations in the South Coast Air Basin. Quality assured and validated data were put into a database.
