Copyright, Publisher and Additional Information: © 2020 The Authors. Funding Information: (table 3) are based are available from the Centre for Environment Data and Analysis: www.ceda.ac.uk. Data on VOCs in Delhi are currently subject to embargo but will be available on CEDA in 2021. Authors’ contributions. A.C.L. conceived the research, performed the analysis of VOC emission trends and subsequent impacts on observations. J.R.H., J.F.H., G.S., B.S.N., J.R.H. and A.C.L. contributed the observations and data for VOCs in London, Delhi and Beijing. D.C.C. provided the analysis of atmospheric trends in VOCs from the Defra Network. J.D., T.M. and N.P. undertook the development of the underlying emissions inventory and supported observations made in the Defra Automated Hydrocarbon Network.

The authors thank the members of the Defra Air Quality Expert Group (AQEG) for their contributions to the recent analysis of VOCs in the UK, work which has greatly informed the conclusions of this paper. A.C.L. and J.R.H. acknowledge funding from NERC NC LTSS and from NERC grant nos. NE/R011532/1 and NE/T001917/1. This paper draws on data from the version of the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory programme published in 2019 (the 2017 NAEI) and prepared by the Ricardo Energy and Environment under contract to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Trends in ambient non-methane hydrocarbons measured at Marylebone Road are drawn from the UK-AIR website operated by the Ricardo Energy and Environment under contract to the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs. The Delhi measurements were taken as part of the DELHI-FLUX project, grant no. NE/P016502/1.
