“…This is in accordance with the results of other studies of personal and indoor air ( e.g., Krause et al, 1991;Proctor et al, 1991 ) and can be explained by both its presence in outdoor air and its frequent use indoors as a solvent in paints, lacquers, printing inks, adhesives and other household products ( Kumai et al, 1983;Sack et al, 1992 ). Somewhat unexpected was that 2-propanol and limonene were next in rank with mean concentrations higher than 30 g/m 3 .…”

“…This is consistent with the results of Kumai et al (1983 ) and Sack et al ( 1992 ) on the content of organic solvent components in various products. The authors found that ethylbenzene, m -/p-xylene and o -xylene were contained in more than half of the paints and lacquers under study, partially in considerable concentrations.…”

“…The factor analysis identified one factor consisting of cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane and benzaldehyde. Methylcyclohexane is found in consumer products (Sack and Steele, 1992) but can also be emitted from pathogenic bacteria associated with respiratory infections (Abd El Qader et al, 2015). In the large European AIRMEX study, the mean indoor levels of methylcyclohexane in public buildings/schools was the same as in our study (2.9 μg/m 3 ) but the outdoor levels were much lower (0.4 μg/m 3 ) (Geiss et al, 2011).…”

“…Outras fontes importantes são os processos de combustão e emissões metabólicas de microorganismos 34 . Contribuem ainda para agravar o quadro, os processos que melhoram o transporte desses compostos para a fase vapor 35 , tais como umidificadores, uso de produtos à base de aerossol 36 e até mesmo os sistemas de ar condicionado, supostamente purificadores e condicionadores de ar, que podem ser uma das causas principais de poluição no ar interno 37 . Como fontes comuns de COVs em ambientes fechados podemos citar os materiais de construção do próprio prédio, o sistema de ar condicionado, os produtos de consumo utilizados para manutenção e cuidados pessoais, móveis e decoração, e a incursão de ar externo.…”
