COMMUTER EXPOSURE TO VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS UNDER DIFFERENT DRIVING CONDITIONS

In this study, various driving conditions (transport mode, fuel distributions, vehicle ventilation factors, car models, seasons, routes, and driving periods) were tested for in-vehicle concentrations of selected volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The study involved 2 sampling seasons (winter and summer). Mean concentrations of in-auto/in-bus/fixed site ratios were determined for total VOCs, benzene, and toluene for both morning and evening commutes in urban and rural areas.
