Abstract
Significant quantities of organic chemicals are released into the ambient environment as a necessary outcome of day-to-day human activities. In recent years, it has become evident that many of these chemicals are toxic at concentrations significantly higher than those found in the ambient atmosphere. The present study is designed to focus on the abundance of gaseous organic chemicals in the ambient environment with special emphasis on those that are or may be hazardous. The term 'hazardous organic chemicals' (HOCs) used here is not intended to imply that a proven human health hazard exists. In most cases toxicity studies are incomplete and entail extrapolation of animal data to humans. Over the years many studies have been conducted to characterize the concentrations of a wide range of potentially hazardous gaseous organic chemicals. This study, for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), was an attempt to study their usefulness and to integrate them into a useful and cohesive document with a single, coherent data base that would readily indicate: Trace chemicals measured, Locations and times of HOC measurements, Typical concentrations of the individual HOCs, and Data quality and representativeness.
