Megjegyzések:	Long-term exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor environments can lead to diverse adverse effects including damage to the central nervous system and cancer. This study summarises data on levels of 16 VOCs in residential buildings in the member states of the European Union (EU) reported between 2010 and 2023. We obtained data on VOC concentrations by means of systematic literature search- es in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases. 1390 articles were identified, of which 112 were reviewed, with 33 yielding relevant data. We used these data to compare indoor levels of VOCs reported in the literature searches with their reference concentrations (RFC). The data extracted from each study were used to determine the concentration distribution for each VOC separately. The resulting concentration dis- tributions were grouped by country, then weighted by the number of buildings studied and combined by VOCs using probabilistic Monte Carlo simulations. We show that the concentration of acetaldehyde in Romania (median: 68.6 ?g/m3 , 1st and 99th percentiles: 16.1?362.3 ?g/ m3), benzene in Cyprus (median: 3.43 ?g/m3 , 1st and 99th percentiles: 0.2?44.5 ?g/m3) and formaldehyde in Romania (median: 89.4 ?g/m3 , 1st and 99 th percentiles: 8.8?247.1 ?g/m3) reached above their RFC of 100, 30, and 100 ?g/m3, respectively. In addition, we demonstrated that the level of trichloroethylene in France (median: 0.4 ?g/m3 , 1st and 99 th percentiles: 0.004?24.1 ?g/m3), Germany (median: 0.08 ?g/ m3 , 1st and 99 th percentiles: 0.02?1.9 ?g/m3), and Lithuania (median: 6.9 ?g/m3 , 1st and 99 th percentiles: 3.8?11.9 ?g/m 3), and xylenes in Lithuania (median: 1.1 ?g/m3 , 1st and 99 th percentiles: 0.5?177.6 ?g/ m3) and Portugal (median: 3.8 ?g/m3 , 1st and 99th percentiles: 0.6?39.4 ?g/m3) were above their limit value of 2 and 100 ?g/m3, respectively. Our research reveals that residential exposure to VOCs continues to be a public health concern in the EU. Although the EU has implemented limits for the emission of certain VOCs, further measures are necessary to limit the use of these chemicals in household products.
