ANALYTICAL MONITORING OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND POLLUTION IN MAIN HOTEL ROOMS

Abstract

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor air are among the major chemical factors affecting human health. This article analyzes the main sources of VOCs, including building materials, household chemicals, furniture, polymer coatings, ventilation systems, and human-related activities. The mechanisms of accumulation and distribution of these compounds in indoor environments, as well as hygienic assessment criteria, are discussed. The impact of VOCs on the respiratory system, allergic reactions, neurological conditions, and overall work capacity is evaluated. Preventive measures and optimal ventilation and monitoring approaches are proposed. The findings have practical significance for maintaining a healthy microclimate in residential buildings, hotels, and healthcare facilities.
