摘要:The increase in the number of vehicles and better availability of
car purchase cause that nowadays people tend to spend more time inside
cars. In urban traffic conditions, vehicles moves at low speeds. In addition,
traffic lights and high traffic flows cause frequent stops of vehicles and
often lead to congestions. The consequence is high amount of exhaust
emission and high levels of the concentration of pollutants in the air. In
such conditions, pollutants including hydrocarbons from the group of
volatile organic compound enter the interior of vehicles with air passing
into the cabin. It accumulates mainly in the area of the driver and the
passengers heads. In this paper the results of the research of volatile
organic compounds concentration inside two different passenger cars in
simulated traffic congestion conditions are presented. The study involved
vehicles of various ages: new (2011) and old (1999). On the basis of the
study the driver exposure inside these vehicles to the impact of volatile
organic compounds has been evaluated.
