Volatile organic compounds have been studied over recent years in many countries. However, construction processes, building materials, building types and the methods used for the collection and analysis of VOCs vary from one country to another. At the same time constant technical and scientific progress has brought new materials that can emit completely different VOCs than older materials. Building materials represent significant source of organic compounds’ emissions and we are in direct contact with these compounds at work, school or home every day. Short-term or long-term exposure to these substances can bring many health problems. Therefore, this study is focused to determine the current state of occurrence and concentrations level of VOCs. The studied building is located in eastern Slovakia. The results were compared with the guide values of other countries, because there are no guideline values for TVOC concentrations and limits are set only for a small amount of VOCs in Slovakia. The results from this study demonstrated that flooring installation together with painting caused the highest contribution to the TVOC levels in the indoor air of studied apartment. On the other hand, high levels of TVOC were not found after furnishing.

Ostatnimi laty, lotne związki organiczne VOCs były studiowane badane w wielu krajach. Jednakże, procesy budowlane, materiały budowlane, typy budów i metody wykorzystane przy pobieraniu i analizie VOCs w zależności od kraju różniły się od siebie. W tym samym czasie ciągły postęp naukowy i techniczny przyniósł nowe materiały, które mogą emitować całkowicie inne VOCs niż starsze materiały. Materiały budowlane stanowią znaczące źródło emisji związków organicznych, a my jesteśmy codziennie w bezpośrednim kontakcie z tymi związkami chemicznymi w pracy, szkole czy w domu. Krótko- lub długoterminowe działanie tych substancji może powodować wiele problemów zdrowotnych, dlatego, badania skupione są na ustaleniu bieżącego stanu występowania i poziomu stężenia VOCs. Analizowany w artykule budynek znajduje się we wschodniej Słowacji. Skutki wyniki były porównywane z wartościami wyszczególnionymi w innych państwach, ponieważ na Słowacji nie ma żadnych wytycznych co do wartości całkowitego stężenia VOCs a limity stężenia są podane jedynie dla niektórych związków VOCs. Wyniki analizy wykazały, że instalacja podłogi wraz z malowaniem ma najwyższy udział na poziom TVOC w powietrzu wewnętrznym badanego mieszkania. Z drugiej strony, nie odnotowano wysokich poziomów TVOC po meblowaniu.
