CITROVOC investigates the dual role of volatile organic compounds emitted by citrus plants in regulating ozone levels in polluted Mediterranean areas. The project aims to understand the interactions between biogenic compounds and ozone to improve air quality.
Citrus plants are largely grown and economically valuable crops in densely inhabited and polluted Mediterranean areas.
Citrus species produce and emit VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) which enter gas-phase reactions leading to formation of dangerous levels of atmospheric ozone especially in the presence of anthropogenic pollutants.
On the other hand, biogenic VOC destroy ozone at leaf level enhancing plant protection against the pollutant. CITROVOC is keyed at understanding the dual role of VOC…
