precursors, then it will not achieve the stated aim of meeting internationally accepted
air quality guidelines for ozone.
Acknowledgements Without the patient help of the EMEP-CCC compiling and recasting the
EMEP rural ozone monitoring network data, this assessment could not have been constructed.
Thanks are due to all involved with the EMEP rural ozone monitoring network for contributing
their data over the three decades. The help and support of Atmosphere and Local Environment,
Department for Food and Rural Affairs in the United Kingdom through contract AQ0704 is much
appreciated.
