An updated emission inventory, incorporating source-specific OVOC (Oxygenated volatile organic compound) profiles derived from measurements and the literature, is applied in an air quality model to improve OVOC simulations in a heavily polluted region. A substantial fraction of key OVOCs originates from anthropogenic sources and enhances hydroperoxyl radical production, thereby contributing to ozone formation. The results highlight the importance of accurately representing OVOC emissions in models to support ozone control strategies.
