Summary

Vehicle emissions of non-regulated volatile organic compounds, such as benzene, can form a major contribution to pollution of the indoor as well as the outdoor environment. Several of these compounds are considered to be a health risk and are important factors in the production of photochemical smog. The introduction of unleaded and particularly "super unleaded" fuels in vehicles not fitted with catalytic converters have been shown to increase emissions of benzene, 1,3-butadiene and other volatile organic compounds and indoor air pollution, particularly in naturally ventilated buildings.
