A review of the factors affecting the emission of the ozone chemical precursors VOCs and NOx from the soil
The soil environment is one of the main places for the generation, emission, and absorption of various atmospheric pollutants, including nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are the main chemical precursors for the formation of ground-level ozone. Ground-level ozone pol...

| description | The soil environment is one of the main places for the generation, emission, and absorption of various atmospheric pollutants, including nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are the main chemical precursors for the formation of ground-level ozone. Ground-level ozone pollution has become a concerning environmental problem because of the harm it poses to human health and the surrounding ecological environment. However, current studies on chemical precursors of ozone mainly focus on emissions from industrial sources, forest vegetation, and urban vehicle exhaust; by contrast, few studies have examined the role of the soil environment on NOx and VOCs emissions. In addition, the soil environment is complex and heterogeneous. Agricultural activities (fertilization) and atmospheric deposition provide nutrients for the soil environment, with a significant effect on NOx and VOCs emissions. There is thus a need to study the environmental factors related to the release of NOx and VOCs in the soil to enhance our understanding of emission fluxes and the types of NOx and VOCs in the soil environment and aid efforts to control ground-level ozone pollution through appropriate measures such as management of agricultural activities. This paper reviews the generation of NOx and VOCs in the soil environment and the effects of various environmental factors on this process. Some suggestions are provided for future research on the regulation of NOx and VOCs emissions in the soil environment and the ability of the soil environment to contribute to ground-level ozone pollution. |
