Abstract

Volatial Organic Compounds (VOCs) are widely used as ingredients in household products, like paints, varnishes, adhesives, cleaning and disinfecting material. Fuels are made up of organic chemical and can release VOCs when they are used and stored. BTEX are more important compounds between other VOCs. Respiratory and pulmonary effects have been noted from inhalation exposure to BTEX compound in humans. In this research BTEX Compounds have been measured in the indoor air, and the results have been compared with standards. The data obtained in this research are crucial for estimating exposure to BTEX compounds emitted in the indoor air and especially for design of methods to reduce exposure through selecting appropriate building and furnishing materials and household products.
