Emission and speciation of non-methane volatile organic compounds from anthropogenic sources in China

Exploring synergies between climate and air quality policies using long-term global and regional emission scenarios

“…emissions, see for example recent developments in China (Wei et al, 2008) and India (Sharma et al, 411 2015). Globally, the majority of NMVOC emissions, however, originates from natural sources, e.g., 412…”

Source Profiles and Chemical Reactivity of Volatile Organic Compounds from Solvent Use in Shanghai, China

“…The anthropogenic emission of VOCs in China was 20.1 Tg in 2005, and the industrial and domestic solvent use was the largest emission source accounting for 28.6% of the total VOCs (Wei et al, 2009(Wei et al, , 2011. These VOCs from solvent use result in heavy indoor air pollution (Celebi and Vardar, 2008;Dales et al, 2008;Kim et al, 2012), and especially, 18-40% of them are hazardous and harmful to human health (Wei et al, 2008(Wei et al, , 2009. Additionally, most VOC species emitted from solvent use are very chemically reactive, and hence play an important role in the formation of tropospheric ozone and fine particles (Derwent et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2007).…”

Species profiles and normalized reactivity of volatile organic compounds from gasoline evaporation in China

“…These emission factors have also been adopted in estimating national and regional VOC evaporative emission of gasoline in China or in Asia (Klimont et al, 2002;Streets et al, 2003;Wei et al, 2008;Bo et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2009). In the developed world wide application of gasoline vapor recovery technologies in gasoline dispensing facilities, including Stage I and Stage II vapor recovery systems in service stations, vapor recovery units in storage tanks and onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) in newly manufactured cars, have greatly reduced gasoline evaporation in distribution facilities and processes (Wu et al, 2006).…”
