Abstract
Impact estimation of biogenic VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) to control ambient ozone is needed. For this, BVOCs emission is calculated by using BEIS, and the impact of ozone is estimated with UAM in the research area, Daegu metropolitan city. It is estimated that 59 ppb and 50 ppb of ozone concentration is caused by BVOCs emissions and anthropogenic emissions, respectively. As for tree type, deciduous trees have greater influence than conifers on the daily maximum 1-hr ozone concentration though the former’s distribution area is smaller than the latter’s. In addition, variation of ozone concentration by BVOCs emission is more sensitive in city areas compared to rural areas. If we change the landscape from woody plants (urban trees) to lower ozone-forming potential (OFP) species, it should lead to a reduction in grids that exceed the national ambient ozone standard.
