Abstract
The emission of nitrogens as a part of automobile exhaust is an import ant contribution of urban air pollutions. The primary part of the nitr ogens is nitrogenmonoxyd, converted to nitrogen-dioxyd by airborne oxi dants. A simple NO-NOx-conversion model to be applied on statistical N Ox-results of air pollution-modelling is presented. This conversion-mo del is based on the correlation of the NO2-conversion-rate and NOx-con centrations in the lower boundary layer. Due to this correlation, the results are controlled and interpretated by means of single case calcu lations using a box-trajectory-model.
