This paper describes a multifractal model for representing the high events (intermittency) of air pollution. This model building is the first step toward the development of a cointegration model for prediction of pollution episodes. The method is applied to the time series of two pollutants (NO and SO 2 ) at three locations of the Hong Kong airshed. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
