Applied research in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission from asphalt pavement

Abstract

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) volatilize in quantity during production and application of asphalt. The VOCs will not only cause environmental pollution, but also affect the properties of the pavement. Therefore, the VOCs emission from asphalt pavement is a very worthwhile concern. A brief review concerning VOCs from asphalt pavement, effect of VOCs and measures to mitigate VOCs emission is presented.
