  1. The Relevance of Research to Houston Air Quality Robert Harriss Houston Advanced Research Center http://www.harc.edu

  2. Ozone Photochemistry

  3. TexAQS II Formaldehyde Observations

  4. CMAQ Model Improvements Based on TexAQS II Data Original Forecast Revised Forecast

  5. The HARC ARII website at www.airhoustontx.org offers a Google Maps graphical interface that allows convenient access to air quality data.

  6. Conclusion • Major issues in Texas air quality science include: • Improving emissions data for formaldehyde, nitrous acid, & air toxics; • Adding formaldehyde & nitrous acid chemistry into the SIP model; • Increased emphasis on the regional ozone concentrations & transport. • Making data available to all interested parties. • Research will contribute to effective and efficient policy formulation.
