Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are hazardous highly toxic
pollutants that cause a number of environmental and human health
problems. They are released during a wide range of industrial,
transportation and commercial activities and their emissions have
reached high levels. This book provides a review of the occurrence,
behavior and ecological implications of VOCs. Chapter One evaluates
the biogeneration of volatile organic compounds produced by
microalgae. Chapter Two investigates VOC pollution from industrial
complexes and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Chapter Three
illustrates the current knowledge of intra- and inter- organismal
Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds (mVOCs)-based interactions,
volatile perception, signal transduction and phenotypical responses
in the receiver organisms. Chapter Four summarises the current
state of knowledge regarding the impact of emissions from gasoline
powered vehicles on historical ambient VOC concentration trends,
and on the current ambient urban atmosphere of the South Coast Air
Basin. Chapter Five discusses the oxidation of VOCs over
cyptomelane catalysts. Chapter Six studies VOCs from truffles and
false truffles from Basilicata in Southern Italy. Chapter Seven
discusses the removal of VOCs in the air by total catalytic
oxidation promoted by catalysts.
