Cover Story: The Kathmandu Valley, which is surrounded by high hills and mountains, has been plagued by air pollution, especially in winter. We measured the levels of gaseous air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds in the Kathmandu Valley during the winter to investigate the impact of vehicular emissions and the contribution to secondary pollutants. It was indicated that gasoline components, which were emitted more frequently by engine combustion than gasoline evaporation, were the most common gaseous pollutants and significantly contributed to photochemical ozone production.
