Abstract

Volatile organic compounds (e.g., benzene, toluene, xylene) are important indoor pollutants. Indoor VOCs mainly originate from furniture and building materials. VOCs can produce adverse health effects and therefore have drawn the attention of researchers of indoor environments and public health. This chapter introduces properties, hazards, guidelines, measurement methods, emission characteristic parameters, emission models, and influencing factors of VOCs, and is helpful for understanding the VOCs emission characteristics, concentrations, and their adverse effects on human health.
