This paper presents the results from a study that exam ined microbial volatile organic compound (MVOC) emis sions from six fungi and one bacterial species ( Strepto myces spp.) commonly found in indoor environments. Data are presented on peak emission rates from inocu lated agar plates loaded with surface growth, ranging from 33.5 μg.m-2 per 24 h (Cladosporium sphaerosper mum)to 515 μg.m-2 per 24 h (Rhodotorula glutinis). Fur thermore, changes in MVOC emission levels during the growth cycle of two of the micro-organisms are exam ined. This report also includes a calculation of the impact of MVOC emissions on indoor air quality in a typical house and an application of an exposure model used in a typical school environment.
