Abstract
The purpose of this survey is to look into the actual conditions of the residential indoor air quality in urban areas in China. In this survey, the concentrations of about 16 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and 2 carbonyl compounds were measured at 75 residences in 7 cities of China, which were Urumuchi, Harbin, Beijing, Shanghai, Changsha, Chongqing, and Kunming. In this paper, the measurement result of 6 VOCs and 2 carbonyl compounds' concentrations were summarized. It was found that the average concentrations of benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde were relatively high.
