2016, Comprehensive Analytical ChemistryCitation Excerpt :The most investigated environments are dwellings and schools [63–66,72–74,78,80,81,83,85–89,98–110], universities [79,84,111], museums [70,112,113] and hospitals [68,114]. The number of studies aiming at understanding the adverse effects of exposure to PM2.5 on human health at workplaces has increased substantially [49,62,67,71,75,76,115–120]. Nowadays, assessment of IAQ through complex PM2.5 analyses has undergone major transformation from gravimetric to multicomponent determinations (Table 1).
Relationship of personal exposure to volatile organic compounds to home, work and fixed site outdoor concentrations
2011, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :The high concentrations for the latter group might be a consequence of the greater time spent at home carrying out various activities involving the use of solvents (cleaning agents, DIY, etc). The concentrations of VOC in homes were also lower compared with other studies in the USA (e.g. benzene concentrations range 3.5 μg/m3 (2001) to 20 μg/m3 (1992) (Wallace, 1989a,b; Heavner et al., 1996)), Hong Kong (benzene, 5.3 μg/m3) (Lee et al., 2002a,b), Korea (benzene, 8.2 μg/m3) (Baek et al., 1997) and Europe (benzene range between 2.23 μg/m3 (1996) and 15 (1998) μg/m3) (Brown and Crump, 1998; Leung and Harrison, 1998; Edwards et al., 2001; Lai et al., 2004). As with personal and home concentrations, VOC concentrations measured in offices in this study were lower than earlier studies in the UK (Brown and Crump, 1998; Leung and Harrison, 1998; Lai et al., 2004), Europe (Carrer et al., 2000; Ilgen et al., 2001), USA (Heavner et al., 1996) and Singapore (Zuraimi et al., 2006), with values of benzene ranging between 2.4 μg/m3 (USA, 1996) and 87 μg/m3 (Singapore, 2006).
