Emissions are one of essential inputs for air qualtiry modeling studies.  To study air quality in multi-scale in IMAQS, Emissions Inventory (in County-based, lumped VOC, and annual / peak ozone season daily aveage emissions) are processed with emissions processors prior to model inputs.   In addition to anthropogenic emissions, biogenic emissions are estimated with biogenic modeling tools based on land use land cover & meteorological data. Currently, those emissions are used for ozone, aerosol and toxic stuides in IMAQS.
