The extent to which this occurs depends on a number of issues (Finlayson-Pitts and Pitts 1997), including the reactivity of the hydrocarbon that is itself a function of many factors. It has been proposed that the possibility of ozone formation is best described by a reactivity index of incremental hydrocarbon reactivity (Carter and Atkinson 1987, 1989) that combines the rate of formation of O3 with that of the reduction in the concentration of NO. The method has been applied, for example, to oxygenate additives to automobile fuel (Japar et al. 1991), while both anthropogenic compounds and naturally occurring hydrocarbons may be reactive.
