A framework to interpret passively sampled indoor-air VOC concentrations in health studies

As a result of the pre-processing, an estimation of the peak concentration at renovation (at painting, and at arrangement of new furniture) and of the cumulative concentration is possible from a measurement taken at a later month. The suggested correction procedure may help avoid exposure misclassification in future epidemiological studies of the health effects of VOCs in indoor-air, from which novel results can be expected.
