Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOCs) are VOCs produced and emitted by living organisms, predominantly plants. Isoprene ([latex]C_5H_8[/latex]) and terpenes are the most abundant BVOCs. While natural, their emissions are vast, exceeding anthropogenic VOCs globally. They play critical roles in plant defense, signaling, and are major precursors for atmospheric ozone and secondary organic aerosols, influencing air quality and climate.
