In 1997 and 1998 several field campaigns for monitoring non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NO^sub x^) were carried out in a road traffic tunnel and in the city center of Wuppertal, Germany. C^sub 2^-C^sub 10^ aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons were monitored using...
