2022 Yes https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ina.13091 Liu, Ningrui Asia Review Teachers Staff Students Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) China health risk Indoor air quality Influencing factor Systematic review volatile organic compound The results show that indoor pollution of benzene, toluene, and xylenes has been more serious in China than in other countries. Spatiotemporal distribution shows lower indoor VOC levels in east and south-east regions and a declining trend from 2000 to 2021. Moving into a dwelling more than 1 year after decoration and improving ventilation could significantly reduce exposure to indoor VOCs. Reducing benzene exposure is urgently needed because it is associated with greater health risks (4.5 x 10-4 for lifetime cancer risk and 8.3 for hazard quotient) than any other VOCs.
