Short summary
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are precursors to urban air pollution. We measured VOC emissions in a major North American urban area and identified the dominant sources of four abundant compounds: ethanol, methanol, acetaldehyde, and acetone. Cooking and consumer products (e.g., solvents) were the primary sources, showing that these emissions play a larger role in urban air quality than previously thought.
