Abstract

Climatic variations in indoor environments may change concentration patterns. This systematic review and meta-analysis study aimed to investigate exposure to benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (s) (BTEX) concentrations in different indoor microenvironments with emphasis on different times of the year. A systematic review in five bibliographic databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Medline) was conducted. Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, the search utilized four groups of keywords. The pooled indoor exposure to BTEX under different climatic conditions were estimated using a random-effects model. Among 64 selected articles, the greatest percentage of studies with the highest indoor exposure for BTEX in vehicles and transportation areas was in summer. The highest percentage of these studies at home was in winter. The highest percentage of these studies in educational and sport centers was in winter and summer. In the vehicles and transportation areas, the pooled concentration (µg/m³) of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene(s) were calculated as 29.12, 102.33, 19.24, and 22.73 in summer, respectively. In the homes and sites, the pooled concentration (µg/m³) of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene(s) were measured as 6.39, 22.06, 6.21, and 11.33 in winter, respectively. In the educational and sport centers, the pooled concentration (µg/m³) of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene(s) were calculated as 3.15, 11.09, 5.55, and 5.63 in summer and 2.97, 8.09, 4.16, and 5.49 in winter, respectively. The results of this study introduce the seasons with the greatest concentrations of BTEX in different indoor environments.

不同室内微环境中BTEX浓度的暴露：强调一年中的不同时间。

室内环境的气候变化可能会改变浓度模式。本系统综述和荟萃分析研究旨在调查不同室内微环境中苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯（BTEX）的暴露浓度，重点是一年中的不同时间。对5个文献数据库（Scopus、PubMed、Web of Science、Embase和Medline）进行了系统综述。遵循PRISMA指南，搜索使用了四组关键字。采用随机效应模型对不同气候条件下的室内BTEX暴露量进行了估计。在64篇入选文章中，车辆和交通运输区域BTEX室内暴露率最高的研究比例最高的是夏季。在家里进行这些研究的比例最高的是在冬天。这些研究在教育和体育中心的比例最高是在冬季和夏季。在车辆和运输区域，夏季苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯的集中浓度（µg/m3）分别为29.12、102.33、19.24和22.73。在家庭和现场，苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯的集中浓度（µg/m3）在冬季分别为6.39、22.06、6.21和11.33。在教育和体育中心，苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯(s)的集中浓度（µg/m3）夏季分别为3.15、11.09、5.55和5.63，冬季分别为2.97、8.09、4.16和5.49。本研究结果介绍了不同室内环境中BTEX浓度最高的季节。
