Abstract

According to the WHO, human exposure to air pollution is the most important environmental threat to general public health worldwide. Thus, major concerns are overexposure to indoor air pollutants since it has caused a major concern about people’s health, comfort, and convenience. Compared to the past, people's time in indoor spaces of their homes and at work has increased significantly in recent decades. On average, people spend 80%–90% of their time indoors. Therefore, air quality in the indoor environment can affect human health and cause a wide variety of diseases, including cancer. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are among the most common indoor air pollutants of great importance and are considered an indicator of indoor air quality in closed environments. This chapter will review the composition and types of VOCs, their main sources, and their health effects in the indoor air of buildings and closed environments. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
