Abstract

The purpose of this survey was to examine the actual conditions of residential indoor air quality in urban areas in China. In this survey, the concentrations of about 16 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and two carbonyl compounds were measured at 75 apartments in seven Chinese cities, viz., Urumqi, Harbin, Beijing, Shanghai, Changsha, Chongqing, and Kunming. In this paper, the measurement results for six VOCs and two carbonyl compound concentrations are summarized. It was found that the average concentrations of benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde were relatively high.
