Objectives
•Evaluate the impact of the four alternative futures on air quality in Southwest California
•Develop a modeling system to integrate projected land use patterns with atmospheric emissions and secondary pollutants, meteorology and dispersion, and transportation
•Provide an assessment of the likelihood that San Diego County will violate various Federal and California Standards

Summary
The addition of 500k or 1,000k residents to the study area appears to have a greater overall impact on air quality than does their distribution.
Nevertheless the resultant differences in human activity influence air quality.
The project developed a modeling system to predict air quality based on changes in land use patterns resulting from development and growth
![Page 20: Determining Alternative Futures - Urban Development Effects on Air Quality Julide Kahyaoglu-Koracin and Darko Koracin May 2007 Zagreb, Croatia.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ef25503460f94c041f2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• The system coupled land-use predictions with transportation, emissions, meteorology, dispersion, and transportation models.
• This tool can allow potential users to evaluate and assess other “least likely impacts” stemming from the impacts of future growth.

Summary (cont.)
•The area will continue to be in violation of the annual Federal PM2.5 and California 1-hour O3
standards, and is likely to be in violation of the annual California PM2.5 and Federal 1-hour O3 standards.
•Regulators should focus on reducing primary PM2.5
