Abstract

In this study, we attempted to estimate the association between asthma oriented by indoor air sources andpersonal exposure by comparing the case (asthma-patient) and control (non-asthma-patient) groups. Weselected 27 participants who showed positive response on lung function and methacholin provocation test.We performed environmental survey with 15 and 10 cases during May and June 2007, respectively. Therewas no significant difference between the case and control groups in the level of formaldehyde and TBC(Total Bacterial Count). In the dust allergen test, the case concentration was higher than the control's,without signifiant difference. In the personal exposure assessment of VOCs using OVM (Organic VaporMonitor) badge, the case concentrations of Benzene, Toluene, and Ethylbenzene were higher than thecontrol's, but there was no significant difference. The personal exposure of Xylene case study was significantlyhigher than the control's
