This paper presents a review and assessment of aircraft cabin air quality studies with measured levels of volatile and semivolatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs). VOC and SVOC concentrations reported for aircraft cabins are compared with those reported for residential and office buildings and for passenger compartments of other types of transportation. An assessment of measurement technologies and quality assurance procedures is included. The six studies reviewed in the paper range in coverage from two to about 30 flights per study. None of the monitored flights included any unusual or episodic events that could affect cabin air quality. Most studies have used scientifically sound methods for measurements. Study results indicate that under routine aircraft operations, contaminant levels in aircraft cabins are similar to those in residential and office buildings, with two exceptions: (1). levels of ethanol and acetone, indicators of bioeffluents and chemicals from consumer products are higher in aircraft than in home or office environments, and (2). levels of certain chlorinated hydrocarbons and fuel-related contaminants are higher in residential/office buildings than in aircraft. Similarly, ethanol and acetone levels are higher in aircraft than in other transportation modes but the levels of some pollutants, such as m-/p-xylenes, tend to be lower in aircraft.
本文对飞机客舱空气质量研究进行了综述和评估，这些研究测量了挥发性和半挥发性有机化合物（VOCs和SVOCs）的含量。将报告的飞机客舱VOC和SVOC浓度与住宅、办公楼以及其他类型交通工具客舱的相关浓度进行了比较。文中还包括对测量技术和质量保证程序的评估。本文综述的六项研究覆盖范围从每项研究两架次到约三十架次不等。所有监测航班均未出现任何可能影响客舱空气质量的异常或偶发事件。大多数研究采用了科学合理的测量方法。研究结果表明，在飞机常规运行情况下，飞机客舱内的污染物水平与住宅和办公楼内的污染物水平相似，但有两个例外：（1）作为生物排放物和消费品中化学物质指标的乙醇和丙酮水平，飞机内高于家庭或办公环境；（2）某些氯代烃和与燃料相关的污染物水平，住宅/办公楼内高于飞机内。同样，飞机内乙醇和丙酮水平高于其他交通方式，但飞机内某些污染物（如间/对二甲苯）的水平往往较低。
