Volatile organic compounds from typical industries in North China Plain: emissions, air pollution contribution, health risks, and policy implications by Jiqi Zhu, Shoujun Xia, Hejingying Niu, Jian Xu, Yueqian Wang, Xuena Yu, Ling Huang, Kun Zhang, Yangjun Wang, Limin Zeng, Qing Li, Li Li

“…The entropy weight method is further utilized to investigate the integrated impacts and identify priorities of VOCs from industrial sectors. Results indicate that: (1) Current emission factors of industrial VOCs diverged substantially, with petrochemical (15.93 kg/t) and pharmaceutical (135 kg/t) industries being the most obvious emission sectors. (2) Chemical composition of VOCs varied across different industries, with surface coating emitting 69 % halogenated hydrocarbons, petrochemicals releasing 58 % aromatics, and pharmaceuticals discharging 53 % oxygenated VOCs (OVOCs). (3) Ozone formation potential peaked in surface coating (351.9 mg/m3, aromatics-driven) and olefin-rich organic chemical processes, while secondary organic aerosol potential was dominated by petrochemical aromatics (5,750 μg/m3). (4) Health risks are high in resin and plastic, pharmaceutical, and petroleum industries, with acrolein (HQ = 0.96) and acetaldehyde (cancer risk = 3.9 × 10-7) as priority hazards. (5) Based on detected greenhouse-effect VOCs, Freon-12/11 emissions dominated climate impacts (83 %, 467.1 tCO2-eq) in the petrochemical industry. (6) Entropy-weighted analysis prioritized petroleum for Tier-1 controls. …”
