In the present study, the concentrations of major anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which include benzene, toluene, m,p-xylene, o-xylene, and styrene were measured from relatively clean site in Kang Hwa island during spring 2001. In addition, their flux values were also quantified through an application of micrometeorological approaches. Results of our analysis indicated relatively low concentration level of toluene but comparable values for other species relative to urban environments investigated previously. Comparison of VOCs flux measurement data indicated that the patterns of vertical exchange between different VOCs species clearly contrast, while they generally exhibit the magnitude of exchange at or less than a few mg/m2h. A close inspection of our data also indicated that benzene and toluene exhibit enhanced flux values for downward dry-deposition, while xylene and styrene were showing enhanced magnitude of upward emission. The exchange rate of emission and dry deposition, when examined over 24 h scale, showed that the distinction of vertical exchange processes is apparent between species. According to our study, the rice paddy area were source of xylenes and styrene but sink for benzene and toluene.
