Notes<br />
This is a report of the National Human Exposure<br />
Assessment Survey (NHEXAS) Phase I<br />
conducted in Arizona. 185 households were<br />
included in the study including those with<br />
attached garages.<br />
1.6 – 4.8 Measured values in 11 newly constructed<br />
homes prior to occupancy. Both manufactured<br />
and site-built homes included<br />

Study of 8 homes to characterize personal<br />
exposures to urban air toxics in inner city<br />
neighborhoods.<br />
Study of 37 U.S. homes in urban and rural<br />
Oklahoma to characterize indoor, outdoor and<br />
personal air concentrations of various VOCs.<br />
Presence of refinery was a primary factor<br />
investigated.<br />
Study of 10 homes where simultaneous indoor<br />
and outdoor samples were collected.<br />
Studies were conducted in three urban centers<br />
and measured benzene among 16 VOCs to<br />
evaluate the relationship between outdoor,<br />
indoor and personal air. For all three cities<br />
combined, 554 indoor air samples <strong>for</strong> benzene<br />
were collected.<br />
The average of the medians, 2.5 µg/m 3 was used as the exposure point concentration <strong>for</strong> the<br />
typical indoor air concentration.<br />
As indicated in Table 7.10, indoor air concentrations will vary greatly from home to home<br />
depending on the presence of various sources. High-end indoor air concentrations of benzene<br />
were estimated by evaluating source specific contributions to the indoor air. Unlike toluene and
