A micro fabricated chip-based wearable air sampler was used to monitor the personnel exposure of volatile chemical concentrations in microenvironments. Six teenagers participated in this study and 14 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including naphthalene, 3-decen-1-ol, hexanal, nonanal, methyl salicylate and limonene gave the highest abundance during routine daily activity. VOC exposure associated with daily activities and the location showed strong agreements with two of the participant's results. One of these subjects had the highest exposure to methyl salicylate that was supported by the use of a topical analgesic balm containing this compound. Environmental based air quality monitoring followed by the personnel exposure studies provided additional evidence associated to the main locations where the participants traveled. Toluene concentrations observed at a gas station were exceptionally high, with the highest amount observed at 1213.1 ng m⁻³. One subject had the highest exposure to toluene and the GPS data showed clear evidence of activities neighboring a gas station. This study shows that this wearable air sampler has potential applications including hazardous VOC exposure monitoring in occupational hazard assessment for certain professions, for example in industries that involve direct handling of petroleum products.

用于评估个人接触挥发性有机化合物的环境空气采样器

使用微型制造的基于芯片的可穿戴空气采样器来监测微环境中挥发性化学物质浓度的人员暴露。六名青少年参与了这项研究，包括萘、3-癸烯-1-醇、己醛、壬醛、水杨酸甲酯和柠檬烯在内的 14 种挥发性有机化合物 (VOC) 在日常日常活动中的丰度最高。与日常活动和地点相关的 VOC 暴露与参与者的两个结果显示出强烈的一致性。其中一名受试者对水杨酸甲酯的暴露量最高，这可以通过使用含有这种化合物的局部镇痛膏得到支持。基于环境的空气质量监测以及随后的人员暴露研究提供了与参与者旅行的主要地点相关的额外证据。^-3。一名受试者接触甲苯的次数最多，GPS 数据显示了加油站附近活动的明确证据。这项研究表明，这种可穿戴式空气采样器具有潜在的应用，包括在某些职业的职业危害评估中监测有害 VOC 暴露，例如涉及直接处理石油产品的行业。
