Altshuller, A. ASSESSMENT OF NATURAL VOLATILE ORGANIC SUBSTANCES AND THEIR EFFECT ON AIR QUALITY IN THE UNITED STATES. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/D-83/047 (NTIS PB84152859), 1983.
Description:
This research brief is a summary of the extensive review and critical analysis of the literature on natural volatile organic substances, sometimes referred to as biogenic hydrocarbons, and an assessment of that body of scientific information. The review is reported separately (Natural Volatile Organic Substances and Their Effect on Air Quality, submitted to Atmospheric Environment). The conclusion reached in this assessment is that there is a lack of evidence that natural hydrocarbons contribute substantially to the formation of ambient air concentrations of ozone.
