Photochemical Modeling

Photochemical modeling involves using computer simulations to understand how sunlight interacts with pollutants in the atmosphere, leading to chemical reactions that create pollutants like smog. It helps scientists predict how pollutants form, disperse, and change under different conditions, such as weather or emissions levels. By analyzing these processes, the models support air quality management, policy decisions, and efforts to reduce harmful pollution, ultimately protecting public health and the environment.
