The ESQUISSE study of IAQ conducted by the French Research and Safety Institute (INRS), characterized the concentrations of various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in 10 retail stores and storage areas. The IAQ was generally better in sales areas than storage areas, which are more often unventilated and overloaded with new products. For example, in clothing stores, formaldehyde concentrations between 29.0 and 45.0 \u00b5g m\u22123 were measured in non-ventilated storage areas located in the basement; in sales areas, concentrations did not exceed 10.2 \u00b5g m\u22123. Similarly, total VOC (TVOC) concentrations in the two main storage areas were 1153 and 1223 \u00b5g m\u22123 toluene equivalent, whereas they were less than 77.0 \u00b5g m\u22123 toluene equivalent in all sales areas. Many employees work in these high-exposure areas either temporarily or for the entire day, unpacking boxes, placing products on shelves, or collecting products. Reporting primarily on formaldehyde, toluene, or TVOC concentrations, this article shows, in addition to the distinction between sales and storage areas, how an unpacking task can affect an employee\u2019s exposure, and an example of the impact of ambient temperature on VOC concentrations. The results presented clearly highlight the issue of occupational exposure of workers in storage areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/annweh\/wxaa103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,1]],"date-time":"2020-10-01T03:30:45Z","timestamp":1601523045000},"page":"319-331","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Work
