Impact of introducing electric vehicles on ground-level O₃ and PM_2.5 in the Greater Tokyo Area: yearly trends and the importance of changes in the urban heat... by H. Hata, N. Mizushima, T. Ihara

“…This is due to the increased NO titration effect caused by the lowered planetary boundary layer height and due to the degradation of photochemistry related to O<span class="inline-formula">₃</span> formation caused by a decrease in temperature and biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). The mitigation of UHI would result in enhanced particle coagulation, with an increase in ground-level PM<span class="inline-formula">_2.5</span>. …”

Development of a Sustainable Flexible Humidity Sensor Based on <i>Tenebrio molitor</i> Larvae Biomass-Derived Chitosan by Ezekiel Edward Nettey-Oppong, Riaz Muhammad, Emmanuel Ackah, Hojun Yang, Ahmed Ali, Hyun-Woo Jeong, Seong-Wan Kim, Young-Seek Seok, Seung Ho Choi

“…Moreover, the chitosan-based humidity sensor also demonstrated high selectivity for water vapor when tested against various volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The superior performance of the sensor is attributed to the structural properties of chitosan, particularly its ability to form reversible hydrogen bonds with water molecules. …”

Impacts of the “Coal to Gas” Policy on Rural Air VOC Level and Ozone Potentials in North China by Zhiyong Li, Chen Liu, Chengjing Cao, Zhen Zhai, Changtao Huang, Zhuangzhuang Ren, Jixiang Liu, Lan Chen, Songtao Guo, Dingyuan Yang

“…Abstract A unique study was enacted during the heating season (HS) in 2020 and 2021 at a rural site in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to evaluate the policy impacts of “Coal to Gas” (CTG) on ambient volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A total of 58 VOCs in air and flue gas from wall-mounted gas stoves (WMGS) were concurrently analyzed. …”
