Abstract
(type = abstract)
This study examines two criteria atmospheric pollutants, ozone and particulate matter 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) within the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington (PCW) region and explores the relationship these pollutants may have with summer climatological factors and amongst themselves. Three synoptic types are found to be associated with high pollution concentrations, these synoptic types are mainly categorized by southerly winds, partly cloudy skies, and warm temperatures. Ozone and PM 2.5 were found to be strongly positively correlated between themselves, suggesting that as one pollutant increases or decreases, the other will as well. Future research would include the forecasting of poor air quality days, with a focus on the three synoptic types that are most strongly related to high pollution concentrations. As future climate changes, the relationship between synoptic climatology and pollutants may need to be further explored.
