Raw data must be analyzed and transformed into a format useful for specific purposes. Summary tables, graphs, and geographic distributions are some of the formats used for data display. Air quality information often consists of a large body of data collected at a variety of locations and over different seasons. Table 15-3 shows the tabular format used by the California Air Resources Board to reduce ozone hourly measurements to a format which shows information about compliance with air quality standards (6). The format has location, maximum values, annual means, and number of occurrences of hourly values above a given concentration as a function of the month of the year. One can quickly determine which areas are violating a standard, at what time of the year elevated concentrations are occurring, and the number of good data points collected.

Regulations imposed on auto makers to address a perceived air pollution crisis once again renewed EV interest in the early 1990s. Perhaps the most aggressive regulations were imposed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) low emission vehicle (LEV) program mandating that zero emission vehicles...

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) set an averse sulfur specification of 40 ppm for 1996, with a maximum of 80 ppm. The CAAA s Complex Model also addresses sulfur issues in its set of equations. 

California Air Resources Board (CARB) is a state agency which regulates and sets standards for air quality and emissions of various pollutants.

In 1991 the California Air Resources Board certified a compressed natural gas (CNG) powered engine as the first alternative fueled engine certified for use in California. The board also sponsored a program to fuel school buses with CNG. While CNG has been used for fleet and delivery vehicles, most tanks hold enough fuel for a little over 100 miles. 

In 1998 a report prepared for the California Air Resources Board (CARB) called Status and Prospects of Fuel Cells as Automotive Engines favored methanol fuel cell stacks in cars over a direct-hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen is not as ready for private automobiles because of the difficulties and costs of storing hydrogen on board and the large investments that would be required to make hydrogen more available. 

Hydrogen-enriched natural gas buses are expected to meet the California Air Resources Board s transit emissions requirements. They also pave the way for a hydrogen infrastructure that can support fuel cells for transportation. The use of hydrogen powered buses and infrastructure facilities conforms with the goals of the California Fuel Cell Partnership, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Instruments based on differential ultraviolet absorption still need to be evaluated, and possibly modified, before their acceptance for monitoring ozone in polluted atmospheres on a nationwide scale. The California Air Resources Board and other air pollution control agencies are evaluating ultraviolet absorption with both chemiluminescence and potassium iodide instruments.
