...Derrick R. Crump; Richard W. Squire; Chuck W.F. Yu Concentrations of formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds(VOCs) were monitored over a 2-year period in the main rooms of four unoccupied test houses and in the outdoor air. During the construction and furnishing of the buildings 30...

...G.B. Leslie Glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde are found in the hospital environment at higher concentrations than those to which the general population is exposed. Their possible adverse health effects are therefore very important to people working in certain parts of hospitals and to patients...

...P. Dingle; P. Franklin Formaldehyde is a highly irritant gas commonly encountered in indoor environments. Domestic levels of formaldehyde may vary with building practices and climate and the aim of the present study was to investigate formaldehyde levels in 185 homes in Perth, Australia...

... and to propose measures to improve air quality. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), and formaldehyde were determined simultaneously and temperature, relative humidity and noise were measured. Temperature and relative humidity were...

...) concentrations were approximately 4,000 µg·m –3 just after construction, decreasing by a double-exponential model to 300 µg·m –3 by 8 months, which is below the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) goal of 500 µg·m –3 . Formaldehyde concentration was near the NHMRC goal of 130 µg·m –3...

...P. Dingle; R. Tan; C. Cheong A study of 132 unoccupied and 60 occupied caravans was conducted to determine levels of formaldehyde and factors which may affect these levels. Repeat monitoring was carried out 6 months later in 50 of the occupied caravans. A questionnaire was also used to assess...
