Estimation of the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in central Tokyo by the dynamic analysis of their temporally increasing atmospheric concentrations in calm weather afternoon conditions
The emissions of VOCs in central Tokyo were estimated by the dynamic analysis of their temporally increasing atmospheric concentrations in the afternoon of weekdays when anthropogenic emissions were most active and the mixing of the atmosphere was extremely small. The results agreed well with the emissions estimated from increments of the averaged atmospheric concentrations above the background concentrations.
