Ambient VOCs samples and bagasse infiltration fluid at bagasse yard in a paper mill during the periods of press and non-pressing season of sugarcane were analyzed. Results showed that 32 and 24 kinds of compounds were detected in the press and non-pressing seasons,respectively; Compared to the non-pressing season, most concentrations of the volatile organic pollutants were higher in the press season. There are 32 kinds of volatile organic pollutants that were detected in bagasse infiltration fluid, of which acid and aromatic hydrocarbon compounds account for 14 kinds, respectively. Therefore,the environmental management should not be overlooked in bagasse yard of paper mill.
