Based on the typical city survey data and statistics of Guangdong Province, a 2018-based 3 km×3 km gridded greenhouse gas emissions inventory was developed for Guangdong Province using the combination of top-down and bottom-up emission factor methods. The inventory covered the CO, CH and NO emissions from energy, industrial processes, agriculture, land use change and forest, waste management, and indirect sources. The results showed that estimates for CO, CH, and NO in Guangdong Province for the year 2018 were 8.

The printing industry has always been the key source of volatile organic compound(VOC) emissions in China. However, owing to the complexity of raw materials and processes, the fine emission inventory and its future emission reduction potential of VOCs from the printing industry have not been well characterized. In this study, the existing VOCs emission factors of the printing industry were improved, considering the neglected semi/intermediate VOCs(S/IVOCs).

The situation of air pollution in Guanzhong Plain has been increasing in recent years; hence, it is very important to study the characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their health risks in urban functional zones. We analyzed 115 VOCs using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/hydrogen ion flame detector (GC-MS/FID) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at four sampling sites in the traffic, comprehensive, industrial, and scenic zones of Baoji. We analyzed the main components and key species in the different functional zones.

Ozone pollution is intensifying in China, and its related studies are weak in non-focus regions and non-focus cities. Here, we investigated the characteristics and sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at three sampling sites in Zhanjiang. We analyzed 101 VOCs using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/hydrogen ion flame detector (GC-MS/FID) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a Summa canister and DNPH adsorption tube.

Based on the tropical cyclone track data in the northwest Pacific Ocean from 2015 to 2020, meteorological observation data, and ozone concentration monitoring data in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), the impacts of four tropical cyclones, namely the westbound tropical cyclone (type A), East China Sea tropical cyclone (type B), offshore tropical cyclone (type C), and offshore tropical cyclone (type D), on ozone concentration in the PRD were analyzed. The results showed that:under the influence of the type A tropical cyclone, the risk of regional ozone concentration exceeding the standard exhibited little change. Under the influence of the type B tropical cyclone, the risk of ozone exceeding the standard in the PRD was obviously increased.

A volatile organic compounds(VOCs) emission source classification and accounting system from domestic sources in China was established for the period between 2010 and 2018. Suggestions for the prevention and treatment of VOCs from domestic sources were developed and proposed. The results showed that the total VOCs emission inventory from domestic sources in China in 2018 was 2518 kt.

Architectural decoration is an important anthropogenic emission source of VOCs in China, and there are few studies on the emission of VOCs from architectural adhesives. In this study, the VOCs content level and emission factors of various architectural adhesives were measured and then, a VOC emission inventory of architectural adhesives in China from 2013 to 2017 was established by a top-down emission factor method. Results showed that the comprehensive VOCs emission factor of architectural adhesives was 97.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed ozone trends in the Pearl River Delta from 2006 to 2019, revealing a significant increase in average ozone concentration, especially accelerating after 2016.
  • The central region of the PRD experienced notable rises in ozone levels during summer, while peripheral areas showed minimal change; overall, there was a marked reduction in NO concentration contributing to ozone increase in the central PRD.
  • The research indicates a shift in the chemical sensitivity of ozone production, with decreasing VOC-limited conditions and increasing NO-limited regimes, highlighting the need for enhanced cooperative control of VOCs and NO to combat regional ozone pollution.

A database of refined raw materials and end treatment-based VOCs emission factors for typical solvent use sources was developed for the Pearl River Delta. For this, the impact of composition and the content of raw materials, production process, and comprehensive end treatment on the emission of VOCs was analyzed. The solvent use sources included printing, furniture manufacturing, and electronic component and equipment manufacturing.

Article Synopsis
  • An emission inventory of atmospheric pollutants from crop residue burning in Guangdong (2008-2016) showed reduced emissions in 2013-2016 compared to 2008-2012, attributed to a ban on open straw burning and improved rural living standards.
  • In 2016, significant pollutant emissions included VOCs and other species, with rice straw burning contributing to 68.55% of total emissions; the major pollutants were SO, NO, and CO.
  • The highest emitters were five municipalities: Zhanjiang, Maoming, Meizhou, Zhaoqing, and Shaoguan; top VOC species included ethylene and formaldehyde, which together made up a large

China implemented the emission allowance and allocation strategy in 2016 to achieve effective control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). An inventory of VOCs emissions for 2015 and future emissions for 2020 were developed and predicted, respectively, using emission factors and regression analysis. The results showed that anthropogenic VOCs emission in 2015 was 31117.

Since the chromatographic fingerprint was introduced, it has been accepted by many countries to assess the quality and authenticity of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM). However, solely using the chromatographic fingerprint to assay numerous chemicals is not suitable for the assessment of the whole internal quality and pharmacodynamics of CHM. Consequently, it is necessary to develop a rational approach to connecting the chromatographic fingerprint with effective components to assess the internal quality of CHM.

Objective: To probe the intervention and mechanism of the inhibitor of heparanase (PI-88) on the experimental CNV model .

Methods: Experimental CNV was induced by laser photocoagulation in 29 mail (Brown Norway) BN rats (647 nm wave length Krypton laser, 360 mW power, 50 microm spot size, 0.05 second duration), and randomly divided into vacant control group, physiologic saline control group, preventive group and treated group, another 3 rats were acted as normal group, 15 days continuous intraperitoneal injection of PI-88 (25 mg kg(-1) d(-1) was administrated in preventive group (PI-88 was administered the same day as photocoagulation) and treated group (PI-88 was administered 1 week after photocoagulation when CNV had been formed), for the physiologic saline control group, PI-88 was replaced by physiologic saline.
