Abstract

Moulds may release microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOC). The detection of MVOC represents an established method to discover invisible mould contaminations in buildings and thus give the opportunity to eliminate possible health endangerments. Up to now representative investigations for assessing MVOC describing the ubiquitous background contamination do not exist. Therefore in a multi-centric study the MVOC content in 140 German living- and bedrooms lacking any indication for a mould contamination was determined during the months of March to July 2003 by means of Tenax® TA 60/80 sampling. Quantification was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the SIM mode. The investigations revealed that for a MVOC sum-concentration below 185 ng/m³ or 430 ng/m³ a hidden mould contamination should not be assumed.
