Asphalt emissions rise with heat and sun
Road and roofing asphalts held at typical temperatures and solar conditions released complex mixtures of organic compounds, mostly intermediate- or semivolatile and about 30% aromatic; emissions rose markedly with moderate solar exposure, by about 300% for road asphalt.
Laboratory measurements on asphalt samples simulating storage, paving and use; it concerns emissions and air quality, not odour.
The statement the claim rests on was found word for word in the abstract fetched from the named service, and an editor read the full abstract against every part of the claim. Abstract from Europe PMC (ebi.ac.uk/europepmc).
