Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are important air pollution issues because of their potential health effects, and the contribution to ground ozone and secondary particulate matter. In this study, 53 VOC species near nine roads in Hanoi were monitored by sampling and analyzed by GC-FID four times p...
