Biogenic volatile organic compound emissions from vegetation fires
The aim of this paper was to provide an overview of the current state of the art on research into the emission of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from vegetation fires. Significant amounts of VOCs are emitted from vegetation fires, including several reactive compounds, the majority belonging to the isoprenoid family, which rapidly disappear in the plume to yield pollutants such as s...
متن کاملThe influence of biogenic emissions from Africa on tropical tropospheric ozone during 2006: a global modeling study
We have performed simulations using a 3-D global chemistry-transport model to investigate the influence that biogenic emissions from the African continent exert on the composition of the troposphere in the tropical region. For this purpose we have applied two recently developed biogenic emission inventories provided for use in large-scale global models (Granier et al., 2005; Lathière et al., 20...
متن کاملEstimation of Biogenic Voc Emissions from Ecosystems in the Czech Republic
Characteristics of biogenic VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) as well as methodology of BVOC (Biogenic VOC) emission estimation are presented in this article. It has been shown in previous studies (e.g. Simpson et al, 1995) that contribution of volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted from biogenic sources to total amount of VOC in the atmosphere can be significant. Especially while modeling pho...
متن کاملNine years of global hydrocarbon emissions based on source inversion of OMI formaldehyde observations
As formaldehyde (HCHO) is a high-yield product in the oxidation of most volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by fires, vegetation, and anthropogenic activities, satellite observations of HCHO are well-suited to inform us on the spatial and temporal variability of the underlying VOC sources. The long record of space-based HCHO column observations from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) i...
متن کاملAtmospheric mixing ratios of methyl ethyl ketone (2-butanone) in tropical, boreal, temperate and marine environments
Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) enters the atmosphere following direct emission from vegetation and anthropogenic activities, as well as being produced by the gas-phase oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as nbutane. This study presents the first overview of ambient MEK measurements at six different locations, characteristic of forested, urban and marine environments. In order to unde...
