室内环境，特别是室内空气质量（IAQ），与人类的建筑相关症状（BRS）显著相关。在我们以前的研究中，我们证明了BRS和室内化学浓度之间的显着关系。在日本，厚生劳动省（MHLW）指南建议将13种挥发性有机化合物（VOC）的空气质量目标和总VOC（TVOC）的临时目标定为400 μ g/m3。本研究的目的是使用日本暂定目标TVOC水平400 μ g/m3确定TVOC水平与BRS风险之间的关系。研究了TVOC浓度低于400 μ g/m3时，恶臭强度与BRS的关系。该研究于2017 - 2019年在千叶大学校园内的实验室（LH）进行。该研究包括149名参与者，他们在LH中度过了60分钟。参与者被要求评估LH的IAQ。观察到BRS风险与临时目标TVOC水平之间存在显著相关性（比值比：2.94，95%置信区间：1.18 - 7.35）。此外，在TVOC水平小于400 μ g/m3的空间中，气味强度与BRS风险之间存在显著相关性（比值比：6.06，95%置信区间：1.21 - 30.44）。总之，在TVOC水平低和气味强度低的空间中，BRS的风险显著降低。降低空气中化学物质的浓度和气味强度可以改善室内空气质量，防止BRS。
The indoor environment, particularly indoor air quality (IAQ), is significantly associated with building-related symptoms (BRSs) in humans. In our previous studies, we demonstrated a significant relationship between BRSs and indoor chemical concentrations. In Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW) guideline recommends an air quality target of 13 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and a provisional target of 400 μg/m3 for total VOCs (TVOC). The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between TVOC levels and the risk of BRSs using the Japanese provisional target TVOC level of 400 μg/m3. The relationship between odor intensity and BRSs while the TVOC levels were under 400 μg/m3 was also examined. The study was conducted in a laboratory house (LH) on the campus of Chiba University from 2017–2019. The study included 149 participants who spent 60 minutes in the LH. The participants were asked to evaluate the IAQ of the LH. A significant relationship between the risk of BRSs and the provisional target TVOC level was observed (odds ratio: 2.94, 95% confidence interval: 1.18–7.35). Furthermore, a significant relationship between odor intensity and risk of BRSs in spaces with TVOC levels less than 400 μg/m3 was detected (odds ratio: 6.06, 95% confidence interval: 1.21–30.44). In conclusion, the risk of BRSs is significantly lower in spaces with low TVOC levels and low odor intensity. Reducing the concentration of airborne chemicals and odor intensity may improve IAQ and prevent BRSs.
