BVOC stands for Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds

BVOC, or Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds, are organic chemicals emitted by plants and microorganisms that can significantly influence atmospheric chemistry and climate. These compounds play a crucial role in the formation of natural aerosols and contribute to processes such as ozone formation and the ecosystem's overall health. BVOCs are essential for understanding air quality, climate change, and the interactions between terrestrial and atmospheric systems.
