这项研究的目的是在欧洲OFFICAIR研究项目的框架内，在148个办公房间的样本中探索与建筑相关的居住者报告的健康症状与室内污染物浓度之间的关系。在8个国家的37座办公楼开展了一项大型实地活动，其中包括：(A)对挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)、醛、臭氧和NO2进行为期5天的空气采样；(B)使用在线问卷从1299名参与者那里收集关于他们的个人特征和工作场所健康认知的信息。考虑到个人特征为混杂因素，采用逐步和多水平Logistic回归分析了健康症状与污染物浓度之间的关系。污染物浓度较高的办公室的居住者更有可能报告健康症状。在所研究的挥发性有机化合物中，二甲苯与一般症状(如头痛和疲倦)和皮肤症状有关，乙苯与眼睛刺激和呼吸道症状有关，a-蒎烯与呼吸和心脏症状有关，d-柠檬烯与一般症状有关，苯乙烯与皮肤症状有关。在醛中，甲醛与呼吸道和全身症状有关，丙烯醛与呼吸道症状有关，丙醛与呼吸道、全身和心脏症状有关，己醛与一般SBS有关。臭氧几乎与所有症状有关。
The aim of this study was to explore the association between the building-related occupants' reported health symptoms and the indoor pollutant concentrations in a sample of 148 office rooms, within the framework of the European OFFICAIR research project. A large field campaign was performed in 37 office buildings among eight countries, which included (a) 5-day air sampling of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aldehydes, ozone, and NO2(b) collection of information from 1299 participants regarding their personal characteristics and health perception at workplace using online questionnaires. Stepwise and multilevel logistic regressions were applied to investigate associations between health symptoms and pollutant concentrations considering personal characteristics as confounders. Occupants of offices with higher pollutant concentrations were more likely to report health symptoms. Among the studied VOCs, xylenes were associated with general (such as headache and tiredness) and skin symptoms, ethylbenzene with eye irritation and respiratory symptoms, a-pinene with respiratory and heart symptoms, d-limonene with general symptoms, and styrene with skin symptoms. Among aldehydes, formaldehyde was associated with respiratory and general symptoms, acrolein with respiratory symptoms, propionaldehyde with respiratory, general, and heart symptoms, and hexanal with general SBS. Ozone was associated with almost all symptom groups.
