The total volatile organic compounds and profiles of volatile organic compounds of indoor air in several office buildings with libraries were studied, mainly using sorption tubes and GC‐MS. Exhaust vapors from wet‐process‐type copying machines proved to be a major source of the volatile organic components of the indoor air.
