Abstract: Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is one of the most populated areas in the United States with a long history of ground level ozone pollution. In this research, Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions (CAMx) is used to develop a photochemical model of DFW area. The impact of NOx and VOC emission from regional shale gas activities (in Barnett Shale) is studied. Results show that in order to effectively control ozone level to attain the national standard level it is necessary to include strategies and techniques to lower the emission levels of all shale gas production activities.
