Short summary

In this study, source apportionment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their contributions to photochemical O₃ formation were analyzed by the positive matrix factorization model and an observation-based model using data collected at a receptor site in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region. Furthermore, the policies for controlling VOCs are briefly reviewed. The findings could provide quantitative information for devising appropriate measures against VOCs, NO_x and O₃ pollution in the PRD.
