Ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2), methane (CH4) and non-methanehydrocarbons (NMHCs) were measured in Guwahati in the Brahmaputra River Valley (BRV) of northeasternIndia from January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. The current analysis shows that the annual mean concentrations ofO3, CO, CO2, NOx, CH4, and NMHC in Guwahati were 10.5 ( ± 6.30 ppb), 0.5 ( ± 0.2 ppm), 411.7( ± 37.5 ppm), 19.6 ( ± 11.6 ppb), 2045( ± 417 ppb) and 173( ± 93 ppb), respectively. The pattern ofO3concentrations in Guwahati indicated it was strongly influenced by local NOx sources with an adjacent national highway being the likely major source. Thus, the measured O3 values were reduced by local titration. Diel,weekly, and seasonal patterns for each of these gaseous species showed the strong influence of local sources. Themean ventilation coefficient was greater than > 6000 m2s during the day in the pre-monsoon season indicatingpollutant dispersion. The seasonally average solar radiation (SR) fluxes decreased in the order: pre-monsoon(180 W m−2), monsoon (176 W m−2), post-monsoon (148 W m−2) and winter (110 W m−2).The correspondingmean O3 concentrations were 14.8, 7.5, 6.4, and 10.1 ppb, respectively. In the pre-monsoon season, an impact ofSR on the photochemical formation of O3was observed. High O3 winter concentrations were observed likelydriven by local biomass burning providing reactive VOCs that contributed to ozone formation.
