An Investigation of VOC and Odorous Compounds in Indoor Processing units of Different Manufacturing Facilities in an Industrial Complex

Abstracts
The emission concentrations of VOC and various odorous compounds were measured from different indoor process units located in 19 companies at the Ban Wall industrial complex from Jun. 2004 to Jan. 2005. The purpose of this study was to investigate the indoor pollution levels of various industrial facilities with respect to bothmalodorous compounds and volatile organic compounds (VOC). We also intended to build the database under the conditions affected by various anthropogenic processes with an aid of a statistical treatment. The three samplingmethods and five analytical techniques were applied tomeasure the sum of up to 32 individual compounds. According to this study, we were able to identify the importance ofmajormalodor compounds which include carbonyl compounds, reduced sulfur compounds, ammonia and trimethylamine. On the other hand, relative contribution of VOC as sources ofmalodor was ofminor significance except such compound as toluene. The overall results of this study thus indicate that the concentration levels of VOC in themanufacturing facilities are high enough to affect indoor laboring conditions.
