16. abstract rpj^e rep0rt gives results of the compilation of a data base for concentra-
tions of organic compounds measured indoors. Based on a review of the literature
from 1979 through 1990, the data base contains information on over 220 compounds
ranging in molecular weight from 30 to 446. The compounds are arranged in order
of increasing number of carbon atoms, from 1 to 31. The data base contains the
number of carbon atoms; the name of the compound; its empirical formula; its
molecular weight; the odor threshold (when available); the minimum, maximum,
median, and mean concentrations; the standard deviation; the reference number; the
sampling time; and the type of building. All concentration data are given in micro-
grams per cubic meter. The following compounds were the most frequently reported:
formaldehyde, tetrachloroethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, ben-
zene, p-dichlorobenzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, decane, and undecane. A-
bout 50% of the reported compounds contained 9 carbon atoms or fewer, and 90%
hnd 23 carbon atoms or fewer. Sampling times for the pollutants varied from as
little as 15 minutes to as long as 2 weeks. Grab sampling, real time sampling, and
integrated sampling methods were used. Odor thresholds for the reported pollutants
were, in general, three to five orders of magnitude higher than those measured. •;

ABSTRACT
A data base for concentrations of organic compounds measured indoors has
been compiled. Based on a review of the literature from 1979 through 1990, the
data base contains information on over 220 compounds ranging in molecular
weight from 30 to 446. The compounds are arranged in order of increasing
number of carbon atoms - from one to thirty-one. The data base is presented in a
13 column table containing the following information: number of carbon atoms,
name of compound, empirical formula, molecular weight, odor threshold (when
available), minimum, maximum, median, and mean concentrations, standard
deviation, reference number, sampling time, and type of building. All concentration
data are given in //g/m3. The following compounds were the most frequently
reported: formaldehyde, tetrachloroethylene, 1,1,1- trichloroethane,
trichloroethylene, benzene, p-dichlorobenzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes,
decane, and undecane. About 50% of the reported compounds contained nine
carbon atoms or fewer, and 90% had 23 carbon atoms or fewer. Sampling times
for the pollutants varied from as little as 15 minutes to as long as two weeks.
Grab-sampling, real time sampling, and integrated sampling methods were used.
Odor thresholds for the pollutants reported were, in general, three to five orders of
magnitude higher than the measured concentrations.

INTRODUCTION
Several years ago it was determined that many pollutants found in ambient
air were present to a larger extent in indoor air. Thus, it was recognized that
indoor air might present problems with regard to potential health effects. Since
most of the efforts directed toward ambient air analysis were with respect to the
criteria pollutants, it was natural that these pollutants would be the first to be
studied in indoor air. In indoor air, pollutants such as carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter have been extensively studied.
Of the organic compounds, particularly the volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), only formaldehyde has been extensively studied in indoor air. Yet many
sources of organic compounds in indoor air have their origins in commonly used
materials. Such materials include caulking compounds, hair sprays, rug cleaners,
and paints and varnishes. In addition, building materials and interior furnishings
(such as furniture, floor tile, draperies, and rugs) may be sources of organic
compounds.
It was felt that there was a need to develop a data base for concentrations
of organic compounds found in indoor air. The initial requirements for such a data
base were: (a) It should be computerized in such a manner that additional
compounds could easily be added; (b) The organic compounds should be arranged
by the number of carbon atoms in the molecule; (c) The data base should contain a
reference list; and (d) There should also be a data base listing the sources and
potential sources of the organic compounds in the primary data base.
The purpose of this report is to provide workers in the field with a hard copy
of the current data base. Since the data base is updated periodically, computer
disks are not being made available. Updates to the current report are planned.
DATA BASE DESCRIPTION
Appendix A presents the data base. It contains approximately 220 organic
compounds ranging from 1-carbon atom compounds to 31-carbon atom
compounds. These compounds range in molecular weight from 30 to 446. The
compounds are arranged in order of increasing number of carbon atoms. The data
are taken from the references listed in Appendix C. Reference numbers are listed
in the column labeled REF in the data base.
The odor threshold values in the fifth column of the primary data base were
taken from the following references:

Thresholds Compared with Threshold Limit Values and Volatilities for

In cases where several odor threshold values are given for the same compound,
the values may differ by as much as an order of magnitude. This should not be
surprising in view of the subjective judgement required in such tests. Also,
different investigators used different test methods and the number of subjects
involved varied considerably. In some cases, impurities in the test materials may
have altered the results. In many cases, the literature data had to be converted
from ppm or ppbv to /;g/m3.
Minimum, maximum, median, and/or mean concentrations (in //g/m3) are
presented in the appropriate column. In those cases where compounds were
identified but not quantified, all the columns are blank. In most cases, decimal
notation is used; for very large and very small numbers, scientific notation is used.
The standard deviations of the data are also given, when available.
The column labeled TIME (second from last column) is the sampling time in
hours, except where otherwise indicated. In this column, a "D" indicates the time
in days and a "W" indicates weeks.

-------
In the column labeled BLDG. TYPE, the type of building investigated is given
as follows: A = Apartment; AU = Automobile; CB = Commercial Building; H =
Hospital; MH = Mobile Home; NH = Nursing Home; OB = Office Building; R =
Residence; S = School; and V = Various types of buildings.
Appendix B contains information on "Sources of Indoor Organic
Compounds." It lists substantiated and possible sources for most of the indoor
pollutants contained in the data base. The information in Appendix B should be
used with some caution, because the composition of materials and products
changes over time as manufacturers alter their manufacturing processes and
products.
OBSERVATIONS
A review of the data shows concentrations of pollutants ranging from below
the quantification level to more than 80,000 //g/m3. There is a paucity of data on
the standard deviation of concentration values reported in the literature. It is
important for users of the data to know the standard deviation in order to know
how much confidence to place in the reported values. Other than listing the
standard deviation, when reported, this report makes no effort to judge the quality
of the data. To do this, the reader should obtain a copy of the reference and use
his or her own judgement.
About 50% of the compounds listed contained 9 carbon atoms or fewer;
about 90% had 23 carbon atoms or fewer.
The following compounds were the most frequently reported: formaldehyde,
tetrachloroethylene, 1,1,1-trichIoroethane, trichloroethylene, benzene, p-
dichlorobenzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, decane, and undecane.
Sampling times for the pollutants varied widely - from as little as 15 minutes
to as long as two weeks. Grab sampling, real time sampling, and integrated
sampling were used.
Odor thresholds for the pollutants were, in general, three to five orders of
magnitude higher than the concentrations actually measured. One cannot,
therefore, expect to detect the presence of a pollutant through odor alone.
