Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concentrations of toluene and ethylbenzene inside the cars with an interior source related to in-cabin decoration and deodorizer use among Pride cars manufactured in Iran. Materials and Methods: The vehicles under study were Pride cars manufactured in Iran. In-cabin sampling was conducted by a personal sampling pump drawing air through an active carbon sorbent tube. The samples were analyzed by a gas chromatograph equipped with mass spectrophotometer detector. Results: In — cabin mean concentrations of toluene and ethylbenzene were 105.4 mg/m3 and 19.09 mg/m3, respectively. The effects of decoration and deodorizer use inside the cars on toluene and ethylbenzene in-cabin concentrations were also not significant. Conclusion: Total means concentration of toluene inside the cars was higher than that of ethylbenzene. Models of the studied vehicles were not significantly affecting the concentrations of the target volatile organic compounds. © 2014 Rismanchian M.
