Ninety volatile organic compounds were identified in the headspace of biodegradable and mixed household waste by GC/MS. Most of them could be attributed to biological waste, microbiological growth in biological waste or packaging materials. Although none of the compounds were present at concentrations exceeding their threshold limit values, it is possible that in closed garbage cans or containers organic sulfur compounds could contribute to the reported gastrointestinal problems of collection personnel.
通过气相色谱/质谱联用仪（GC/MS）在可生物降解的混合生活垃圾顶空中鉴定出90种挥发性有机化合物。其中大多数可归因于生物垃圾、生物垃圾中的微生物生长或包装材料。尽管没有一种化合物的浓度超过其阈限值，但在封闭的垃圾桶或容器中，有机硫化合物有可能导致所报道的垃圾收集人员的胃肠道问题。
