Personal exposure to volatile organic compounds in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Personal exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was analyzed in three industrial cities of the heavily polluted Moravian-Silesian region (Prague served as a control locality). Adult non-smokers (N=160) were monitored in the winter and summer of 2009. Radiello diffusive passive samplers were used to measure the exposure to BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, meta-plus para-xylene and ortho-xylene). The personal exposures to BTEX were higher than the corresponding stationary monitoring levels detected in the individual localities. The indoor environment, environmental tobacco smoke, cooking, a home heating fireplace or gas stove, automobile use were significant predictors for benzene personal exposure.
