This study was carried out to analyze the variations of Benzene, Toluene, and para- Xylene (BTp-X) present in the urban air of Delhi. These pollutants can enter into the human body through various pathways like inhalation, oral and dermal exposure posing adverse effects on human health. Keeping in view of the above facts, six different locations of Delhi were selected for the study during summe...

The petroleum refining industry emits various volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including high-volatility benzene, which can have a significant impact on the local community. To address this issue, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has implemented fenceline monitoring system to ensure that benzene concentrations at do not exceed 9 μg/m3. However, there are types of VOCs, and some with h...

With the continuous progress of air pollution prevention and control in China, study emission characteristics vehicles has become increasingly important. An situ experiment was performed Tianfu tunnel Chengdu to determine vehicle emissions volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A total 50 species VOCs were quantified tunnel, with concentrations range 32.25–162.18 ppbv entrance 52.90–233.92 exit, re...

This study was conducted to study climatic and air pollution of Tripoli city center, Libya using ambient air quality station; during the period between Jan. to Dec. 2014. Particulate matter, Ozone, Carbon oxides (CO & CO2), Nitrogen oxides (NO & NO2), Sulphur gases (SO2 & H2S) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were determined using Aeroqual AQM-60 Environmental Station. The objective was to...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major pollutants that are found in contaminated sites, particularly in developed countries such as Japan. Various microorganisms that degrade individual VOCs have been reported, and genomic information related to their phylogenetic classification and VOC-degrading enzymes is available. However, the biodegradation of multiple VOCs remains a challenging issue...

Substantial amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be released during decomposition and these compounds can affect atmospheric chemistry, belowground processes, and the structure of microbial communities in litter and soil. However, we have a limited understanding of the types, quantities and ecological impacts of VOCs emitted from litter. Here we used a closed flow-through system and...

Leakage of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is one the most severe industrial problems, because it can cause environmental pollution, global warming, fire, and explosion. Hence, visualization leakage an essential technology to detect at early stage. Molecular crystals, fluorescence color which be changed by exposure VOCs could potentially serve as sensing materials for realizing rapid facile V...

How bad is living in a city for asthma? Several investigations have indicated that individuals living in cities have a higher risk of suffering from asthma and allergies compared to those living in the countryside, this being due to several factors. Besides the fact that individual susceptibility varies between urban and rural settings, there are environmental factors that are typical of living...
