Abstract Residential indoor exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a major public health concern. However, the relevant pollution sources have not been well characterized in China. In this study, the 24-h integrated concentrations of 55 VOC species in 27 urban residences, Beijing were measured in the summer. The sources were characterized with positive matrix factorization (PMF) and general linear model (GLM). The most abundant species in terms of geometric mean concentration were formaldehyde (55.1 μg/m3), acetaldehyde (18.7 μg/m3), acetone (14.8 μg/m3), toluene (14.1 μg/m3), hexanal (13.8 μg/m3), n-hexadecane (8.9 μg/m3) and n-pentadecane (8.5 μg/m3). PMF generated 7 factors associated with VOC sources, including aldehydes from ozone-initiated secondary reactions, butyraldehyde from hydrolysis of building materials and furniture, wood flooring emission, wooden furniture emission, wall coverings emission, mobile emission and halogenated hydrocarbons of miscellaneous outdoor origin. GLM identified leather sofa as another source of indoor terpenes and formaldehyde. GLM also found composite wood flooring had stronger emission of VOCs than solid wood flooring, except 1,4-dichlorobenzene. A comparison with multiple studies across the world suggested that: (1) more intensive ozone-initiated secondary reactions resulted in the significantly higher indoor carbonyl concentrations in Beijing than in Japan and USA in the summer; (2) the indoor concentrations of benzene and C12-C17 alkanes were much higher in Beijing, due to the traffic conditions and prevalent use of wood flooring varnishing.
