Ozone pollution and phytochemical smog in urban areas with a special focus on Los Angeles Metro Area
Started May 12, 2023
Abstract or project description
In this project, Raylene will complete a review paper on the topic of ozone pollution and photochemical smog in urban areas. The paper will cover the chemical composition of ozone and photochemical smog, their sources, their effects on humans and environments, current regulations, and the future trends of ozone and photochemical smog. She will learn how to read and synthesize scientific papers, do scientific writing with citations, make figures from publicly available datasets, etc. We aim to publish this in a journal for high school students. Raylene is making very good progress in learning scientific writing so far!
