Solvent compounds in bus and metro interiors
Among nine Hong Kong public transport modes, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene levels were substantially higher in air-conditioned buses and Mass Transit Railway trains than in the others, which the authors take to suggest additional solvent-related sources in those vehicle interiors.
Five winter months of 2001–02; it measures air composition, not odour, and the levels were within Hong Kong's health-protecting limits.
The statement the claim rests on was found word for word in the abstract fetched from the named service, and an editor read the full abstract against every part of the claim. Abstract from Europe PMC (ebi.ac.uk/europepmc).
