“…Consistently, other research groups (Park and Ikeda, 2006;Tuomainen et al, 2003) observed that certain VOC indoor concent -rations decreased gradually over 3-y follow-up periods. In addition, a great deal of research groups reported that indoor VOC concentrations were typically higher than outdoor VOC concentrations in residential, school, hair salon, and office buildings (Cometto-Muñiz and Abraham, 2015;de Gennaro et al, 2014;Do et al, 2015;Gokhale et al, 2008;Mishra et al, 2015;Su et al, 2013;Uchiyama et al, 2015;Wangchuk et al, 2015). Table 3 reveals the emission rates of 9 selected VOCs (2E1H, EOL, 1POL, 2POL, DCA, NNA, ACT, 2BT, and 4M2P) estimated for the investigated apartments according to survey period.…”
