Introduction
CARB, NREL, CRC• Data analysis• Modeling• Field study
CRC Project A-36B is a data analysis project to study weekday/weekend differences in O3 and PM in areas outside CA
Chicago
Philadelphia
Atlanta

Objectives
• At 3 urban locations outside CA, study the day-of-the-week dependence of– diurnal profile of hourly O3 concentrations
– daily maximum 1-hour and 8-hour O3
– PM10 and PM2.5
• Test hypotheses for the “weekend effect”• Identify changes in the weekday/weekend
difference over a longer period

Sampling with replacement
The population distribution of any statistic can be approximated by the distribution of that statistic derived from the bootstrap samples

Future Work
• Use VOC/NOx ratio to bypass the confounding effects of meteorology
• Test hypotheses• Test historical trends• Need access to EPA’s AIRS database!!!!!!!
– VOC– PM10 for Atlanta, Philadelphia
– Availability of PM2.5
