Abstract

In this review, sources and health effects of volatile organic compounds existing in indoor air are investigated. The most important source of volatile organic compounds, having so many types, are materials used for construction and decoration. Average concentrations of volatile organic compounds existing in indoor air are given. These organic compounds are classified according to their sources in the literature. The health effects of VOCs are discussed with respect to their toxicity values. Formaldehyde, which is considered apart from VOCs due to the difference in sampling and analysis, is also investigated. At the end of the literature investigation, it is seen that indoor concentrations of VOCs change in a wide range as a result of many factors.

Özet

Bu derlemede, iç ortam havasında bulunan uçucu organik bileşiklerin (UOB) kaynakları ve insan sağlığı üzerine olan etkileri incelenmiştir. Farklı birçok çeşidi bulunan uçucu organik bileşiklerin en önemli kaynakları inşaat ve dekorasyonda kullanılan malzemelerdir. Literatürde kaynaklarına göre sınıflandırılmış olan uçucu organik bileşiklerin iç ortam havasındaki ortalama konsantrasyonları verilmiştir. İncelenen UOB’lerin toksisite değerleri de göz önüne alınarak insan sağlığı üzerine olan etkileri ortaya konmuştur. Ayrıca tayin metodundaki farklılık ile UOB’lerden ayrılan formaldehit de incelenmiştir. Yapılan literatür incelemesi sonunda UOB’lerin iç ortamdaki konsantrasyonlarının pek çok faktöre bağlı olarak geniş bir aralıkta değiştiği görülmüştür.
