Assessment of health risks from exposure to indoor volatile organic compounds in European educational buildings

Key Points

• Health risks from indoor air quality are heightened due to volatile organic compounds present in educational buildings.
• Exposure to these compounds can potentially lead to respiratory issues and chronic health problems in occupants.
• Assessment involved evaluating air quality across multiple educational buildings in Europe, focusing on VOC levels.
• Findings emphasize the need for improved ventilation and air quality management in schools.
