Abstract:VOCs emissions from industrial sources in China were calculated using the emission factor method based on the concept of source-tracing. Industrial VOCs emissions mainly generated from four links: production of VOCs, storage and transport, industrial processes using VOCs as raw materials and use of VOCs-containing products. Industrial VOCs emission in China was 12.06 million tons in 2009, with four above links contributing 18.1%, 6.8%, 24.7% and 50.3% of VOCs, respectively. Seventeen emission sources including synthetic material production, petroleum refining and petrochemical, machinery and equipment manufacturing generated more than 20×104t VOCs per year, accounting for 94.9% of total emissions. The amount of VOCs emissions in 2007, 2008 and 2009 were 10.23, 10.79 and 12.06 million tons respectively, increasing with an annual average rate of 8.6%.
