Persistent growth of anthropogenic NMVOC emissions in China during 1990–2017: drivers, speciation, and ozone formation potential M. Li et al. https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.4544963.v1

Short summary

A long-term non-methane volatile organic compound (NMVOC) emission inventory is crucial for air quality management but still absent in China. We estimated China’s NMVOCs during 1990–2017 with speciation based on updated databases and investigated the trend of ozone formation potential (OFP) for the same period. Persistent growth of emissions and OFP highlights the need of control measures for solvent use and industrial sources and the importance of designing multi-pollutant control strategies.
