Photostationary state in photochemical smog
- Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor
A photostationary state equation for the photolysis of nitrogen dioxide by ultraviolet light was tested with ambient air measurements obtained in downtown Detroit in the summer of 1973. The equation stated that the concentration of NO/sub 2/ times the rate constant for the dissociation of NO/sub 2/ into nitric oxide and atomic oxygen can be divided by the rate constant for the reaction of NO with ozone (which produces NO/sub 2/ and O/sub 2/) times the concentrations of ozone and NO to yield a numerical value of 1. An experimental value of 1.01 was obtained during actual smog conditions from 400 data sets with a standard deviation of 0.2 and a standard error of 0.01, representing a verification of the equation.
