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