Receptor Model Source Apportionment of Nonmethane Hydrocarbons in Mexico City by V. Mugica, J. Watson, E. Vega, E. Reyes, M.E. Ruiz, J. Chow

“…Apportionment for the most abundant individual NMHC showed that the vehicular source is the major contributor to acetylene, ethylene, pentanes, n-hexane, toluene, and xylenes, while handling and distribution of LP gas was the major source contributor to propane and butanes. Comparison between CMB estimates of NMHC and the emission inventory showed a good agreement for vehicles, handling and distribution of LP gas, and painting operations; nevertheless, emissions from diesel exhaust and asphalt operations showed differences, and the results suggest that these emissions could be underestimated.…”
