Project nº 23222 (02/SAICT/2016).Chemical contamination is a reality in the healthcare environment but unfortunately is rarely studied. However, if we consider that healthcare workers use a high diversity of products such as disinfectants, sterilizers, anesthetic gases, and much other is easy to recognize that workers and patients can be exposed to a complex mixture of chemicals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Primary Health Care Centers (PHCC) located in Lisbon.engEnvironmental healthOccupational healthOccupational exposurePrimary health care centerVolatile organic compoundsHealthcare facilitiesPortugalProject nº 23222 (02/SAICT/2016)Project EXPOsEconference object
