Abstract:
Objective To investigate the contents of organic pollutants inside passenger vehicles.
Methods Concentrations of formaldehyde and total volatile organic compounds(TVOCs)in the air inside 72 passenger vehicles were determined based on GB50325-2001 under static conditions.
Results About forty-three percent of detected samples contained more than 0.5 mg/m3 TVOCs, and fifteen percent of the samples contained more than 0.08 mg/m3 formaldehyde. About fifty-four percent of the samples were in accordance with GB50325-2001.
Conclusion Formaldehyde and TVOC concentrations are exceeded standard in a few vehicles. Relationship is not found between the mileage of vehicle and pollution condition.
