Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emitted from soils amended with organic wastes

Microbial volatiles organics compounds (mvocs) emitted from soils amended with organic wastes

EABIOmEAGROSUP; Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a central role in environmental pollution. They influence the chemistry and the composition of the atmosphere. In particular, biogenic volatile organic compounds (bVOCs) contribute 90% to global VOCs emissions1. Microorganisms contribute to bVOCs emissions and their emissions could be affected by different type of organic waste in soil2. The aim of this study is focused on determining the effect of organic wastes on VOC emitted by microorganisms in soils. The technique used for mVOC detection is the Proton Transfer Reaction-Time of Flight-Mass Spectrometry*(PTR-TOF-MS). PTR-TOF-MS technique provides on-line detection of VOC with two mai…

Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds (mVOCs) emission by soil

EABIOMEAGROSUP; Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a central role in environmental pollution. In particular, biogenic volatile organic compounds (bVOCs) contribute 90% to global VOCs emissions. One of the most important sources of bVOCs are microorganisms. The aim of this bibliography research is to start studying the relationship between microorganisms and VOCs production. To achieve this purpose we begin answering two main questions: firstly, why microorganisms produce VOCs and what can affect their production; secondly, how the PTR-TOF-MS technique can be used for microbial VOC soil analysis. Literature shows that VOC production depends on the sugar degradation pathway, with emission…
