Scope
What are the current exposures to key volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Germany?
Definition
The current list of key VOCs is the following:
n-hexane n-heptane n-octane n-nonane n-decane n-undecane n-dodecane n-tridecane n-tetradecane n-pentadecane 2-methylpentane 3-methylpentane 2,3-dimethylpentane 2-methylhexane 3-methylhexane 2-methylheptane 3-methylheptane methylcyclopentane cyclohexane methylcyclohexane benzene toluene ethylbenzene o-xylene 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene 1,2,4,-trimethylbenzene 1,3,5 trimethylbenzene styrene naphtalene 4-phenylcyclohexene 1,1,1-trichloroethane trichloroethylene tetrachloroethylene a-pinene b-pinene 3-carene limonene ethylacetate n-butylacetate methyl ethyl ketone 3-heptatone methyl benzoate n-butanola iso-butanola iso-amyl alcohola 2- ethyl-1-hexanola 2-propanola t-butyl methylether
Data
There is one very relevant study for this purpose: The German Environmental Survey 1990/92 (GerES II). [1]. It is old, though. For detailed data, see Concentration Database or [1].
Causality
None listed.
