Diurnal fluctuations of ozone concentrations and its precursors and prediction of ozone using multiple linear regressions

The chemical reaction of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere leads to a variety of oxidized products, which are commonly referred to as secondary pollutants. Ground level ozone is a known secondary photochemical pollutant of major importance possessing detrimental effects on health, agriculture...
