Interior renovations incorporate sustainable design and products with green labels or certification, including low
VOC, low
emission, renewable / recycled content, and locally
sourced materials in construction.
In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers from Innsbruck, Austria, present the world's first chemical fingerprint of urban
emission sources of volatile organic compounds (
VOCs).
During this time, our objective has remained the identification of cost - effective
emission control requirements that reduce
VOC emissions for new
sources and, as a co-benefit, also reduce methane.
In addition to methane
emissions, natural gas sector operations and infrastructure represent a significant
source of CO2; volatile organic compounds (
VOCs), which are chemicals that contribute to ground - level ozone and smog; and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).
The methane sink is affected by ozone precursors (
VOCs and NOx) as well as directly by climate (humidity and temperature)(in addition to the soil sink feedback you mention), while the
sources are also affected by climate — wetland
emissions are affected by wetland extent, water tables and temperature, while hydrates (as seen above) are a big unknown.
