A large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will be produced in the production and use of rubber products. It will not only be harmful to human health

but also bring about secondary pollution such as the photochemical smog and atmospheric acidification. Under the background of tightening environmental policies and rising social concerns

it is urgent to realize green production and reduce VOCs emission in rubber products manufacturing industry. In this review

we focus on the reasons for VOCs emission in the production process of rubber products

including raw rubber

filling oil

carbon black

the silicification reaction of silica

volatile sulfur compounds and the waste rubber recycling

and summarize the corresponding methods for reducing VOCs emission. Finally

the research progress of the end treatment technology of VOCs in rubber products industry is complementally introduced.
