| Abstract: | "Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)are important air pollutants in China, and control of their emission is an important subject of air pollution prevention and control.Architectural coatings play a significant role as sources of atmospheric VOCs in China.Due to recent economic development and increase in the levels of urbanization, the building of residences and other buildings is ongoing all the time, which results in increasing demand for architectural coatings and the VOCs pollution caused by painting operations.However, there are few studies of the VOCs emission factors and VOCs emissions due to architectural coatings.In this paper, a set of bottom-up VOCs emission inventory estimation methods for architectural coatings in China was established.The architectural coatings VOCs emission factors were gotten by actual measurement of VOCs in architectural coatings and by summarizing studies of VOCs contents in architectural coatings.Combining these results with the consumption of architectural coating sources, a VOCs emission inventory of architectural coatings in China from 2013 to 2016 was established.The results showed the following.1 in circle VOCs emission factors were 24.63 g.kg(-1) for water-based interior wall coatings; 17.5 g.kg(-1) and 298.8 g.kg(-1) for water-based and solvent-based exterior wall coatings, respectively. They were 2.75, 87.86, and 400 g.kg(-1) for water-based, reaction-type, and solvent-based waterproof coatings, respectively. For water-based, solventless, and solvent-based floor coatings, they were 86.2, 25.24, and 317 g.kg(-1), respectively; and 31.95 g.kg(-1) and 464.61 g.kg(-1) for water-based and solvent-based anticorrosive coatings respectively. The emission factors were 59.7 g.kg(-1) and 347.2 g.kg(-1) for water-based and solvent-based fire retardant coatings, respectively. 2 in circle VOCs emissions from the use of architectural coatings were 255900 t, 287500 t, 319700 t, and 348000 t from 2013 to 2016 in China, with an upward trend. 3 in circle Total VOCs emissions from architectural coatings was 348000 t in 2016, and the VOCs emissions from floor coatings was 78700 t, accounting for 22.61% with the maximum contribution rate. The VOCs emissions from exterior wall coatings were 64900 t, accounting for 18.65% (second place), and the VOCs emissions from fire retardant coatings and anticorrosive coatings (functional coatings) were 64500 t and 50800 t, accounting for 18.53% and 14.6% respectively. The VOCs emissions from waterproof coatings and interior wall coatings were 46100 t and 43000 t, accounting for 13.25% and 12.36%, respectively. 4 in circle The consumption of water-based architectural coatings reached a total of 4889400 t in 2016 with VOCs emissions of 97900 t and average VOCs emissions factor of 20.02 g.kg(-1); however, the consumption of solvent-based architectural coatings totaled 636500 t with VOCs emissions of 227200 t and average VOCs emission factor of 356.95 g.kg(-1). Reducing the consumption of solvent-based coatings would be favorable for reduction of VOCs emissions. ?╡▒ As for the spatial distribution, architectural coating-related VOCs emissions were mainly concentrated in Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan, Sichuan, Guangdong, and Hebei provinces, which have large populations. The province with the highest VOCs emissions was Shandong, with a percentage of 9.36%, and the second was Jiangsu, with a percentage of 8.54%" |
