Personal computers and perceived air quality
Three-month-old personal computers hidden behind a screen in an office raised the share of people dissatisfied with the perceived air quality from 13% to 41%; each was a sensory pollution source of 3.4 olf, and phenol, toluene, 2-ethylhexanol, formaldehyde and styrene were among the chemicals detected.
Office exposures of female subjects; the detected chemicals did not by themselves explain the effect.
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).
