China’s new frontier for VOC regulations

GreenBiz

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combine with nitrogen oxide to create ozone, a key precursor to smog. The Law on Prevention and Control of Air Pollution, also known as the " Air Law ," was updated in 2015 (and again in 2018) to direct local governments in key regions to form emergency response plans for heavily polluting weather conditions.

Less air pollution leads to higher crop yields, says study

Envirotec Magazine

These gases can directly damage crop cells and indirectly affect them through their role as precursors to formation of ozone, an airborne toxin known to reduce crop yields, and particulate matter aerosols that can absorb and scatter sunlight away from crops. Nitrogen oxides, or NOx, are among the most widely emitted pollutants in the world.

China’s new frontier for VOC regulations

AGreenLiving

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combine with nitrogen oxide to create ozone, a key precursor to smog. When energy use surges in the autumn and winter seasons, particulate matter and ozone increase to dangerously high levels. The 2018 Three ? Implementation of these standards is scheduled to start in April.
