Abstract
HRGC-MS determinations carried out on samples collected in urban, subu rban. rural, forest and remote areas suggest that several other classe s of non-methane VOC than isoprene and monoterpene hydrocarbons can be emitted by plants. Because of their high photochemical reactivity, th ey can contribute to tropospheric ozone production which, in turn, can cause climate changes through radiative forcing.
