Chart 3
Average concentrations¹ of BTEX² compounds in indoor air sample of Canadian households, Canadian Health Measures Survey, Cycle 4 (2014 and 2015)
1.
Concentrations are presented as a geometric mean (µg/m³).
2.
BTEX refers to the benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene compounds.
3.
For the response "Yes", readers should use the values for toluene, m- & p-xylene and o-xylene with caution. These data have a coefficient of variation from 16.7% to 33.3%.
Note(s):
Any results less than the limit of detection (LOD) are assigned a value equal to half the value of the LOD.
