Characteristics and health impacts of volatile organic compounds in photocopy centers

For that study, personal and area samplings were conducted in 7 photocopy centers during summer and winter seasons in Taiwan. IAQ was investigated to evaluate the human health risk following inhalation exposure. Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylenes, and Styrene (BTEXS) measurements were carried out. The lifetime cancer and noncancer risks for workers exposed to VOCs were assessed too. Results are presented.
