Climate change has been a subject of matter nowadays, driven by the heat trapped on the Earth’s surface, due to greenhouse gas emissions such as CO2, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and NOx. Global warming has been observed since the beginning of the 20th century. Scientists are looking for the main reasons for this phenomenon and their direct and indirect impact on human health and the atmospheric environment. Indeed, the emissions of air pollutants such as NOx and VOCs seem to be the major reason. However, these gases contribute to the formation of smog and acid rain, as well as affecting the tropospheric ozone. Several techniques have been used in order to reduce their emissions and to protect our atmospheric environment. This chapter covers the planned investigations of VOCs and nitrogen oxides sources, their impact on the air quality, and the different technologies adopted to limit their emissions. |
