Developing receptor-oriented methods for non-methane hydrocarbon characterisation in urban air—Part I: source identification
48
TL;DR: In this article, the identification of nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHC) main sources at urban scale including their spatial and temporal variations is described at an urban scale, based on a receptor-oriented methodology derived from 4-year continuous and hourly measurements of nearly 40 C2-C9 ambient NMHC carried out at two urban sites of the medium-sized city of Lille, northern France.

TL;DR: In this paper, ground-based and airborne volatile organic compound (VOC) measurements in Los Angeles, California, and Paris, France, during the Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change (CalNex) and Megacities: Emissions, Urban, Regional and Global Atmospheric Pollution and Climate Effects, and Integrated Tools for Assessment and Mitigation (MEGAPOLI) campaigns, respectively, are used to examine the spatial variability of the composition of anthropogenic VOC urban emissions and to evaluate regional emission inventories.

Source attributions of hazardous aromatic hydrocarbons in urban, suburban and rural areas in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region
Yanli Zhang,Xinming Wang,Barbara Barletta,Isobel J. Simpson,Donald R. Blake,Xiaoxin Fu,Zhou Zhang,Quanfu He,Tengyu Liu,Xiuying Zhao,Xiang Ding +10 more
TL;DR: Investigation of C6-C9 AHs at one urban, one suburban and two rural sites in the Pearl River Delta region during November-December 2009 revealed that solvent use, vehicle exhaust and biomass burning altogether accounted for 89-94% of observed AHs.

TL;DR: Ait-Helal et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the role of primary anthropogenic gaseous compounds in regional SOA formation by estimating the SOA mass concentration expected from the anthropogenic VOCs and IVOCs (I/VOCs) measured at SIRTA.
Indoor-outdoor distribution and risk assessment of volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere of industrial and urban areas.
Laura Andrea Massolo,M Rehwagen,Andrés Porta,Alicia Estela Ronco,Olf Herbarth,Andrea Mueller +5 more
TL;DR: Most VOCs predominantly originated indoors in urban, semirural and residential areas, whereas an important outdoor influence in the industrial area was observed, where higher concentrations of hexane, heptane and benzene occurred outdoors and affected the indoor air significantly.

Statistical Methods for Environmental Pollution Monitoring
Richard O. Gilbert
- 01 Jan 1987
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed three-stage sampling: simple random sampling, two stage sampling and three stage sampling, and two-stage and double sampling, respectively, to estimate the mean and variance from censored data sets.

Tropospheric air pollution: ozone, airborne toxics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and particles.
TL;DR: OH, NO3, and O3 are shown to play a central role in the formation and fate of airborne toxic chemicals, mutagenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and fine particles.

The role of biogenic hydrocarbons in urban photochemical smog: Atlanta as a case study.
TL;DR: The effects of natural hydrocarbons must be considered in order to develop a reliable plan for reducing ozone in the urban atmosphere and previous investigators may have overestimated the effectiveness of an ozone abatement strategy based on reducing anthropogenic hydrocarbon.

TL;DR: The state of the science concerning biosynthesis, transport, and chemical transformation of hydrocarbons emitted by the terrestrial biosphere is reviewed in this paper, where the focus is on isoprene, monoterpenes, and oxygen-ated polyphenes.
Review of volatile organic compound source apportionment by chemical mass balance
TL;DR: The chemical mass balance (CMB) receptor model has been used to apportion volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in more than 20 urban areas, mostly in the United States as mentioned in this paper.
