Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are some of the most important pollutants that have adverse effects on human health. In this study, simultaneous indoor and outdoor air samples were collected from four types of microenvironments (restaurants, photocopy centers, dry cleaners, and auto paint shops) in Kocaeli, Turkey in both winter and summer. Twenty-four VOCs were detected using gas chromatography and a flame ionization detector. The aim of the study was to determine the VOC concentrations in various workplaces and investigate associated health risks. Results show that the highest mean total VOC concentrations are in auto paint shops (14,066 µg/m³ in winter, 3441 µg/m³ in summer) followed by dry cleaners, restaurants, and photocopy centers. Total cancer risk was approximately 310 times greater than the acceptable limit in auto paint shops, 44 times greater in restaurants, 42 times greater in dry cleaners, and 17 times greater in photocopy centers. Total hazard quotients were also greater than the acceptable limit in all microenvironments.

挥发性有机化合物（VOC）是对人体健康有不利影响的一些最重要的污染物。在这项研究中，在冬季和夏季，从土耳其的科卡利的四种微环境（餐厅，影印中心，干洗店和汽车喷漆车间）同时采集了室内和室外空气样本。使用气相色谱仪和火焰离子化检测器检测了24种VOC。这项研究的目的是确定各种工作场所中VOC的浓度并调查相关的健康风险。结果表明，最高的平均总VOC浓度在汽车油漆厂中（冬季为14,066 µg / m ³，冬季为3441 µg / m ^3）夏季），然后是干洗店，餐厅和影印中心。总癌症风险大约比汽车喷漆店可接受的极限高310倍，在餐厅高44倍，在干洗店高42倍，在影印中心高17倍。在所有微环境中，总危险商也大于可接受的极限。
