Estimation of the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Tokyo from their observed increments of the atmospheric averaged concentrations above the background concentrations
Emissions of 21 VOCs in the Tokyo area were estimated from the increments of the averaged concentrations on weekdays above the background concentrations. Their relative data were converted to actual emissions per capita based on statistical information of several compounds. The correlation with CFC substitutes was indicated to be most useful.
