The effects of natural hydrocarbons must be considered in order to develop a reliable plan for reducing ozone in the urban atmosphere. Trees can emit significant quantities of hydrocarbons to metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, and model calculations indicate that these natural emissions can significantly affect urban ozone levels. By neglecting these compounds, previous investigators may have overestimated the effectiveness of an ozone abatement strategy based on reducing anthropogenic hydrocarbons.
为了制定一个可靠的减少城市大气中臭氧的计划，必须考虑天然碳氢化合物的影响。树木会向亚特兰大等大都市地区排放大量碳氢化合物，模型计算表明，这些天然排放会显著影响城市臭氧水平。由于忽视了这些化合物，以前的研究人员可能高估了基于减少人为碳氢化合物的臭氧减排策略的有效性。
