RESUMO
The quantification of 11 carbonyl compounds (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, acetone, propionaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, butiraldehyde, benzaldehyde, isovaleraldehyde, valeraldehyde and 2,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde) and the identification of another 43 volatile organic compounds (alkanes, alkenes, aromatic, halogenated and nitrogenated compounds) have been done with samples of 9 different indoor places inside the University Hospital at USP in São Paulo. Among the carbonyl compounds, there where found higher quantities of formaldehyde, acetone, acetaldehyde and acrolein in this order. The highest ratios of formaldehyde mixture have been observed at the Macroscopic room (169.88 and 90.2 ppbv) and Histological Techniques (11.7 and 58.7 ppbv), due to the routine activities of these places. At the Macroscopy room, the level of formaldehyde identified (100 ppbv) was above the international limits established to non-industrial internal places. The ratios of the mixture of indoor and outdoor places, I/O, indicate the biggest presence of carbonyl compounds in internal places. Acrolein has been identified (6.4 to 9.3 ppbv) at indoor places. At the external area, there where found similar values (6,4 to 6,8 ppbv), and the ratio I/O obtained is near to 1. The origin of these compounds is possibly construction materials, smoke of cigarettes, adhesives, metabolism of microorganisms or they may have come from the outdoor to the indoor
