Abstract
Effect of Cooling Efficiency on the Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds from Field Asphalt Pavement Mixtures
Highlights
A bituminous binder has been widely used for asphalt paving materials.[1]
Turk et al showed that bituminous materials release volatile organic compound (VOC), which are harmful to the environment and to construction workers.[5]. VOCs or non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure and easy evaporation properties at ordinary room temperatures.[6,7] Blankendaal et al showed that VOCs released from
Karakaya et al proved that workers with weekly exposure to bitumen fumes had more health issues.[9]. In addition, Cui et al showed that VOCs emissions are harmful to the pavement workers and the environment, but they degrade the behavior of the bituminous binder.[10]
Summary
A bituminous binder has been widely used for asphalt paving materials.[1]. Most bitumen is applied at high temperatures. Karakaya et al proved that workers with weekly exposure to bitumen fumes had more health issues.[9] In addition, Cui et al showed that VOCs emissions are harmful to the pavement workers and the environment, but they degrade the behavior of the bituminous binder.[10] From this concept, reducing VOCs emissions from bituminous materials requires the use of bituminous materials with lower VOC contents.[11] Agnes et al studied emission rates for recycled asphalt pavement (RAP); the results showed that a full decrease in odor was nearly reached at a rate of just about 40% RAP.[12] The environmental pollution impact of VOC emissions from bitumen should be considered. Few studies have identified VOC measurements for new and reclaimed asphalt pavements, or compared them with the corresponding results for VOC emissions
