| Abstract |
Concerns about the health of modern residential living are increasing. Social problems have occurred as a result of chemical products in the environment. While people are concerned about the use of chemical products, they generally are unaware of the formaldehyde (HCHO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contained in chemical products. In addition, it has not been recognized that people are often also exposed to HCHO, VOCs, and hazardous materials that are released into the environment from multi-use facilities. Advanced studies on indoor air quality in multi-purpose multiuse facilities, such as beauty salons, print shops, nail salons, and dry cleaners due to their use of chemical products have not significantly progressed, even though similar studies on facilities such as subway stations, hospitals, and transport terminalfacilities have significantly progressed. The aim of the present study is to inform workers of the risks of the high frequency use of HCHO and VOCs in various chemicals such as laundry chemicals used in various facilities. |
