Asphalt　materials　will　emit　a　large　amount　of　volatile　organic　compounds　(VOCs)　under　high　temperature　conditions,　to　address　the　environmental　impact　of　asphalt　pavement　construction,　this　study　selected　different　proportions　of　activated　carbon　(AC)　and　expanded　graphite　(EG)　as　composite　inhibitors　of　asphalt　VOCs,　the　road　performance　and　environmental　performance　of　asphalt　mixtures　are　explored.　Furthermore,　the　study　proposed　the　VOCs　resistance　index　(VRI)　and　VOCs　environment-technique　index　(ETI)　to　evaluate　the　environmental　and　environmental-technical　performance　of　asphalt　mixture　incorporating　composite　VOCs　inhibitors.　The　results　show　that　the　VOCs　inhibited　asphalt　mixtures　with　5%　AC-3%　EG　composite　inhibitors　has　the　best　comprehensive　environmental　performance　(80.15%),　and　its　environmental　technical　performance　(27.59%)　is　also　the　best,　which　is　far　higher　than　the　other　three　VOCs　inhibited　asphalt　mixtures.　This　study　provides　a　reference　and　evaluation　standard　for　the　future　development　of　efficient　asphalt　VOCs　inhibitors.　©　2023　Elsevier　Ltd
