A total of 49 species of VOCs were identified. Nancun River had the highest concentration of total VOCs (TVOCs), which ranged from 1,467 to 5,522μg m−3. Trichloroethene, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m/p-xylene, o-xylene, styrene, and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene were the main pollutants. The levels of VOCs evaporated from the three rivers exhibited different patterns. Correlations between the concentrations of major VOCs were established and found to be statistically significant, except for o-xylene. The ratios of toluene/benzene, ethylbenzene/benzene, and xylene/benzene were estimated and found to be higher than widely reported in the literature. TVOC fluxes in the three rivers were calculated to be the range from 24.8 to 765μg m−2 h−1. This study provides a regional background for the emission inventories of VOCs from heavily polluted rivers in southern China and provides resource managers with important information to guide remediation and policy concerning VOC emissions to the environment.
