A study by a team of researchers from France and the US found that the origin of volatile hydrocarbons, other than methane, present in city air is mainly gasoline-powered vehicles. They therefore concluded that gasoline engines are probably the main source of volatile hydrocarbons in both cities. Borbon, A., Gilman, W. Chevaillier, A.
