NMHC

Non-Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC) are a group of organic compounds found in the air that are made up of hydrogen and carbon, excluding methane. They are released from sources like vehicle emissions, industrial processes, and natural sources such as plants. NMHCs are significant because they can react with other pollutants in the atmosphere to form ozone and smog, which can harm human health and the environment. Monitoring NMHC levels helps assess air quality and develop strategies to reduce pollution and protect public health.
