Linearity (0.996 &lt; R2 &lt; 0.999), intra-day repeatability (0.7 &lt; RSD% &lt; 10), and inter-day repeatability (5 &lt; RSD% &lt; 16) were acceptable for both techniques, but the highest sensibility of the MS\/MS method allowed us to correctly quantify 98% of the samples (versus 32% by UV\/DAD). The comparison of the concentrations that were obtained by quantifying the same sample with both techniques showed good agreement for acetaldehyde and formaldehyde (0.1 &lt; % deviation &lt; 30) but much higher for the less abundant congeners. In real samples, formaldehyde was the most abundant congener (concentrations between 2.7 and 77 \u00b5g m\u22123), followed by acetaldehyde (concentrations between 1.5 and 79 \u00b5g m\u22123) and butyraldehyde (concentrations between 0.4 and 13 \u00b5g m\u22123). In all the beauty salon samples, instead, the most abundant congener was acetaldehyde (concentrations between 19 and 79 \u00b5g m\u22123), probably associated with the use of beauty products. Principal components analysis (PCA) confirms the ubiquitous character of formaldehyde and highlights the influence of minority CCs on different workplaces.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph191912052","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,25]],"date-time":"2022-09-25T23:13:27Z","timestamp":1664147607000},"page":"12052","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Determination of Carbonyl Compounds in Different Work Environments: Comparison between LC-UV\/DAD and LC\u2013MS\/MS Detection Methods"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0689-3789","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Federica","family":"Castellani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases, Sapienza University of Rome, P.le Aldo Moro, 5, 00185 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Ecological and Biological Sciences, Tuscia University, Largo dell\u2019Universit\u00e0 snc, 01100 Viterbo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arianna","family":"Antonucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases, Sapienza University of Rome, P.le Aldo Moro, 5, 00185 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8004-5537","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivano","family":"Pindinello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases, Sapienza University of Rome, P.le Aldo Moro, 5, 00185 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7668-5809","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carmela","family":"Protano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases, Sapienza University of Rome, P.le Aldo Moro, 5, 00185 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1001-6343","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matteo","family":"Vitali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases, Sapienza University of Rome, P.le Aldo Moro, 5, 00185 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1967","DOI":"10.4209\/aaqr.2015.05.0312","article-title":"Risk Assessment of Indoor Formaldehyde and Other Carbonyls in Campus Environments in Northwestern China","volume":"16","author":"Ho","year":"2016","journal-title":"Aerosol Air.
