Type of article: Article

Summary

Recently published studies where individual volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been identified and quantified have been reviewed. Mean concentrations of the compounds have been calculated for public places, homes, and transportation environments. Where the data were available to differentiate between smoking and non-smoking areas these have been summarised. Studies which have attempted to assess health impacts such as odour and irritation in conjuction with VOCs appear to be using unrealistic mixtures and concentrations of VOCs compared to those found in real life situations.
