fungi release wide spectrum of volatile organic compounds (vocs) that belong to several chemical groups with different biochemical origins such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, alcohols, aldehydes, aromatic compounds, esters, furans, ketones, sulfur and nitrogen compounds. trichoderma species are the most studied fungal biocontrol agents and are successfully used as biofungicides and biofertili...

in this research, gasoline vapours including benzene, toluene, xylene (btx) and total volatile organic compounds (tvocs) emitted from vent pipes of underground storage tanks (usts) were measured at six gas stations in tehran. thereafter, gas station no. 29 was selected as a pilot station and equipped with a vapour control system. the vapours were measured during the summer of 2013 and winter of...

As diverse environmental changes continue to influence the structure and function of plant-pollinator interactions across spatial and temporal scales, we will need to enlist numerous approaches to understand these changes. Quantitative examination of floral volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is one approach that is gaining popularity, and recent work suggests that floral VOCs hold substantial pr...

BACKGROUND Although "uremic fetor" has long been felt to be diagnostic of renal failure, the compounds exhaled in uremia remain largely unknown so far. The present work investigates whether breath analysis by ion mobility spectrometry can be used for the identification of volatile organic compounds retained in uremia. METHODS Breath analysis was performed in 28 adults with an eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min...

This study addresses emissions from office equipment with a literature review and measurements from two phases of controlled chamber experiments. Phase I experiments screened for the types of pollutants emitted from five classes of computers and printers placed in a 20 cubic meter stainless steel chamber. Phase II experiments measured volatile organic compounds, low‐molecular‐weight aldehydes, ...

To answer critical questions regarding the interactions between green plants and air quality, two three-year projects are underway to investigate emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from selected plant species. These biogenic VOC (BVOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) can react in the lower atmosphere in the presence of sunlight to form ozone and secondary particulate matter, the principa...
