Notes
Abstract: Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is one of the most populated areas in the United States with a long history of ground level ozone. It is important to quantify the share of major emission sources. 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 VOCs emission from three major stationary sources are studied: Midlothian Cement Plants, oils and gas activities in Barnet Shale, and five coal-fired power plants near DFW area. 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 three major sources.
