Comparison of outdoor and indoor mobile source-related volatile organic compounds between low- and high-floor apartments
The current study examined the hypothesis that there may be vertical variation in mobile source-related volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations in high-rise apartment buildings. One hundred twelve homes in 56 high-rise apartment buildings with 10 or more stories participated in the study. Bot...
