4. Discussion
Our results demonstrate the applicability of CMAQ for estimating population
exposures to air toxics and PM
2.5
associated with aircraft emissions, and reinforce
that high-resolution modeling is necessary for reactive compounds while large
domain modeling is important for secondarily-formed pollutants.
