Outdoor air pollution is a major cause of chronic illness and of mortality, with an estimated
4.5 million deaths every year. Its effects are amplified in urban areas where the global …

The aim of this work is to identify the volatile organic compounds (VOC) from asphalt by
developing a process at atmospheric pressure under air flow in order to qualify and quantify …

Reactive organic compounds are precursors to secondary organic aerosol (SOA)—a major
constituent of particulate air pollution. Decreasing emissions of these compounds from …

Recent studies have suggested that asphalt related emissions at environmentally pertinent
conditions are a major contributor of volatile organic compounds ubiquitous to the …

Asphalt is ubiquitous across cities and a source of organic compounds spanning a wide
range of volatility and may be an overlooked source of urban organic aerosols. The …

Abstract The Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) generated during asphalt pavement
production and construction have negative impacts on both asphalt workers' health and …

Air pollution causes chronic illnesses, and an estimated 4.5 million deaths every year. 70%
of mankind is expected to live in cities by 2050, making urban areas key for air quality and …

Hot mixed asphalt (HMA) in the paving and rolling phase may release all types of volatile
organic compound (VOC) pollutants, but there are few studies on VOC emissions from in situ …

Asphalts are widely used in paving of roads, and water-proof sealing of building roofs, tanks
and containers. This study evaluated the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of …

Abstract Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) is used in the construction of highway roads, parking lots
and other pavement repairs in the US and worldwide. During asphalt pavement installation …
