Acetaldehyde in the indoor environment

“…Some come from surveys, others from specic research projects. The acetaldehyde results of the environmental survey (GerES V) 78 shown in Fig. 6 The data presented in Table 4 are largely identical to the literature review by Shrubsole et al 125 Logue et al 162 assumed a population-average indoor acetaldehyde concentration of 22 mg m −3 .…”

“…77 DNPH is also suitable for passive sampling. The collection rates for acetaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds were determined by Birmili et al 78…”

“…Some come from surveys, others from specific research projects. The acetaldehyde results of the environmental survey (GerES V) 78 shown in Figure 6 are representative for Germany. The concentrations measured with passive samplers are 7-day mean values.…”

“…The upper limit of the "low range" was assumed to be 10 µg/m 3 , about half . 78 The data were fitted with a sigmoidal curve. The 50-P value is 5.5 µg/m 3 and the 95-P is µg/m 3 .…”
