| Resumen |
Twenty volatile organic compounds were measured in the personal air and drinking water of 350 New Jersey (USA) residents in the fall of 1981. Two consecutive 12-hour integrated personal air samples and 2 tap water samples were collected from each participant. At the end of the 24-hour monitoring period, each participant supplied a sample of exhaled breath. Simultaneous outdoor samples were collected in 100 residential locations in 2 cities. Eleven compounds were present much of the time in air, but only 4 (the trihalomethanes) in water; wide ranges of exposures (3-4 orders of magnitude) were noted for most compounds. Ten of 11 compounds displayed significant correlations between air exposures and breath concentrations; the 11th (chloroform) was correlated with drinking water exposures. It was concluded that breath measurements are a feasible, cost-effective, and highly sensitive way to determine environmental and occupational exposures to volatile organic compounds. |
