TEMPERATURE AS THUMB RULE PREDICTOR OF OZONE LEVELS IN SANTIAGO DE CHILE GROUND AIR
Ozone concentrations in the urban air of Santiago de Chile frequently surpass the air quality standard in summertime, particularly in the eastern part of the city (Las Condes). The main parameter that determines ozone episodes is the ground level daily maximum temperature. In the present work we pro...
