9.5.02: Automated High Resolution Measurement of VOCs
Release Date: 12-19-2019Open Date: 12-19-2019Due Date: 02-03-2020Close Date: 02-03-2020Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted from a wide variety of biogenic and anthropogenic sources. Photochemical oxidation of VOCs creates ozone, a criteria pollutant. In addition, lower volatility oxygenated VOCs (OVOCs) produced from photochemistry can condense into fine particulate matter (PM). Both ozone and fine PM harm human health and can influence the Earth’s radiative balance. Red ...
