Monitoring of total volatile organic compound emissions from plastic runway surfaces YuanRonghui HuangFang JiangJun HuangJinfei SuChang 2019 <p>Simulated with small environmental chambers, the emission characteristics of total volatile organic compounds from plastic runway surfaces were investigated by thermal desorption–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. This quantitative approach was validated using a dynamic recovery experiment, and the variation of emission factors from mixed-type plastic surfaces was determined. Also, the photodegradation of volatile organic compounds in chambers was introduced to decrease the background interference.</p>
