Abstract

Effort has been made to specify surface ozone production in photochemical reaction due to the high concentration of NOX and photon rays. The secondary reactions has been considered via optical measurements using actinometry and pyranometry which was followed for photochemical reactions at high temperature and because of air pollutants due to the traffic load and because of the inversion in certain days. The concentration of surface ozone which was measured in Tehran city center was in the range of 24 - 45 ppb in 1991 - 1992 and a higher concentration of 45 – 65  ppb was measured in 1999 – 2000. This high surface ozone concentration could cause a severe damage to biota, fauna and human health.
