MANE-VU and MARAMA held the 2009 Science Meeting "Total Reactive Nitrogen: Regional Haze Impacts and Mitigation Options" on July 28-29, 2009 at the Pier 5 Hotel in downtown Baltimore, MD.
Science Meeting Overview:
At the recent NARSTO-MARAMA-NESCAUM-NYSERDA regional emissions inventory conference ammonia was identified as one of the key areas for improvement in the regional emissions inventory.
The purpose of the meeting was to increase understanding by state and local agency air quality managers in the region about:
- The source and fate of emissions of ammonia and other reactive nitrogen compounds (Nr);
- Impacts of Nr on air quality and the relationship of air quality to other environmental effects.
- Measurement technology to assess concentrations of Nr and emissions of Nr;
- Potential control measures that may help reduce airborne Nr and deposition of Nr;
