Table 1. Indoor Air Quality –Levels of Pollutants in Households

The primary purpose of this Interaction Profile for carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, methylene chloride, nitrogen dioxide, and tetrachloroethylene is to evaluate data on the toxicology of the “whole” mixture and the joint toxic action of the chemicals in the mixture in order to recommend approaches for assessing the potential hazard of this mixture to public health. To this end, the profile evalu...

Pollution levels and characteristics of phthalate esters in indoor air of offices.

The pollution status and characteristics of PAEs (phthalate esters) were investigated in indoor air of offices, and PAEs of both gas-phase and particulate-phase were detected in all the samples. The concentration (sum of the gas phase and the particulate phase) was 4748.24 ng/m3, ranging between 3070.09 and 6700.14 ng/m3. Diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate were...
