| Abstract | The FRAME atmospheric chemistry transport model was applied to calculate the concentration of NH3 at a 1 km resolution over the UK. The results showed that the 1 μg m−3 critical level for NH3 was exceeded for 60% of the UK land area and the 3 μg m−3 critical level was exceeded for 3% of the land area. Model simulations using historical emissions suggested that average NH3 concentrations in the UK have increased by a factor of 2.5 between 1970 and 2010 due to both an increase in NH3 emissions and large reductions in SO2 emissions causing a reduction in the availability of H2SO4 to react with NH3. |
