abstract = {In this work, a photochemical dispersion model, CAMx
(Comprehensive Air quality Model with eXtensions) was used
to simulate a high ozone episode observed in the Po basin
during the 2003 FORMAT (Formaldehyde as a Tracer of
Oxidation in the Troposphere) campaign. The study focuses on
formaldehyde and ozone, and a budget analysis was set up for
interpreting the importance of different processes, namely
emission, chemistry, transport and deposition, for three
different areas (urban, downwind, suburban) around the Milan
metropolitan region. In addition, a sensitivity study was
carried out based on 11 different VOC emission scenarios.
The results of the budget study show that the strongest O-3
production rate (4 ppbv/hour) occurs in the downwind area of
the city of Milan, and that accumulated O3 is transported
back to Milan city during nighttime. More than $80\%$ of the
HCHO concentration over the Milan metropolitan region is
secondary, i. e., photochemically produced from other VOCs.
The sensitivity study shows that the emissions of isoprene
are not, on average, a controlling factor for the peak
concentrations of O3 and HCHO over the model domain because
of very few oak trees in this region. Although the
paraffinic (PAR) emissions are fairly large, a $20\%$
reduction of PAR yields only $1.7\%$ of HCHO reduction and
$2.7\%$ reduction of the O3 peak. The largest reduction of
O3 levels can be obtained by reduced xylene (XYL) emissions.
A $20\%$ reduction of the total anthropogenic VOC emissions
leads to $15.5\%$ (20.3 ppbv) reduction of O3 peak levels
over the Milan metropolitan region.},
