What Does NMHC Stand For?
NMHC stands for Nonmethane Hydrocarbons
NMHC, or Nonmethane Hydrocarbons, refers to a group of organic compounds that do not contain methane. These hydrocarbons are significant in atmospheric chemistry and contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone and smog. NMHCs typically include a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are emitted from sources such as vehicle exhaust, industrial processes, and natural sources. Monitoring and regulating NMHC levels is important for air quality management and environmental protection.
