Effect of LPG vehicles on OFP

LPG is a better choice LPG is a better choice

of fuel than gasoline becauseof fuel than gasoline because

of its low OFP.of its low OFP.

Conclusion

LPG is the major source of VOC in downtown Guangzhou.

The synchronicity of LPG alkanes

with NO and propylene suggest

LPG linked to vehicular exhaust.

The LPG alkanes accounts for 24% of TVOC in Guangzhou,

its contribution to OFP only 7%.

LPG emissions are increasing in morning and evening rush hlurs, as well the nootime break.
