dc.descriptionEmissions of air pollutants and their precursors in urban air closely relate to urbanization involving economic development, population growth, and industrialization. Here we use formaldehyde (HCHO) columns from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), night-time light (NTL) radiance from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite, and population density data as respective proxies to explore how anthropogenic non-methane volatile organic compound (NMVOC) emissions evolve with urbanization in Asia. HCHO columns correlate moderately to highly (0.64 ≤ r ≤ 0.99) with the NTL radiance within most major Asian countries. On both national (across Asia) and provincial scales (within China), HCHO columns increase monotonically with NTL radiance or population density with a log-linear pattern, implying anthropogenic NMVOC emissions in Asia may similarly respond to urbanization with no apparent turnover yet. Our study confirms TROPOMI HCHO columns as a proxy of anthropogenic NMVOC emissions.
