Abstract: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have become a major concern that requires a viable and sustainable remedy as a substitute for conventional air pollution control technologies. This review follows the trend of biological VOC treatment, from the development of conventional biofilter systems to sophisticated biocatalytic systems. It also looks into the principles of VOC biodegradation and... More

Abstract: The fast industrialization and urbanization in China have created intricate man-made emissions that have led to gross air degradation with immense environmental, climatic, and health consequences. This is a synthesis of the existing knowledge on Chinese emissions, considering the lenses of environmental and Earth science and incorporating the knowledge on the origins of emissions, atmospheric...
