In our present study we tested the health effects among women of controlled exposures to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), with and without ozone (O3), and psychological stress. Each subject was exposed to the following three conditions at 1-week intervals (within-subject factor): VOCs (26 mg/m3), VOCs + O3 (26 mg/m3 + 40 ppb), and ambient air with a 1-min spike of VOCs (2.5 mg/m3). As a
Learn MoreSome VOCs react slowly and changes in their emissions have limited effects on local or regional ozone pollution episodes. Those VOCs, determined to have low photochemical reactivity by approved test methods, may be excluded as VOC for regulatory purposes. These determinations are made by regulation and are commonly referred to as VOC Exemptions.
Learn More1/15 · Ambient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were continuously measured from February to October at an urban site in Wuhan. The characteristics and sources of VOCs and their effect on ozone (O3) formation were studied for the first time. The total VOC levels in Wuhan were relatively low, and
Learn MoreCoal is well known as the primary energy consumption in China, and the coal chemical industry (CCI) can serve as an important source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions. However, the characteristics of VOCs emitted from CCI along with their environmental consequences are still poorly unde

Learn More2022/4/8 · ABSTRACT Ambient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a critical role in air quality as important precursors for the formation of ozone and secondary organic aerosols.
Learn MoreVolatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major contributors to air pollution. Based on the emission characteristics of 99 VOCs that daily measured at 10 am in winter from 15 December to 17 January and in summer from 21 July to 25 August in Beijing, the environmental impact and health risk of VOC were assessed.

Learn MoreThe modern CFC-free aerosols still emit the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which still affect the ozone and the environment. The VOCs are the primary component of the asthma-inducing smog. Besides, the propellants in aerosol cans are highly flammable when in contact with fire and can cause explosions and start fires.
Learn MoreVOCs are a group of carbon-based chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. Many common household materials and products, such as paints and cleaning products, give off VOCs. Common VOCs include acetone, benzene, ethylene glycol, formaldehyde, methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, toluene and xylene. Different VOCs have different health effects, and range
