This report details a comprehensive assessment of ammonia emissions and their impact on air quality in the Midwest, utilizing various meteorological and emissions models such as MM5, EMS-2003 V3, CAMX, and CMAQ. It covers significant evaluation episodes from July 1999 to August 2001 and offers insights into future projections based on modified EPA and CMU ammonia inventories. The study highlights important temporal modifications and emphasizes the role of human activity in ammonia emissions while excluding natural sources. It presents findings relevant to policymakers and air quality researchers.
