Abstract Construction painters have not been well studied in terms of their exposures or the impact of work on their health. The reason so little work has focus on this group is that they are highly mobile, difficult to trace for follow-up and perform tasks that do not fit the typical 8-hour time weighted average exposure scenario. Additionally, construction painters may be exposed to solvent based products that are present in both the vapor and liquid (mist) phases. The goal of this investigation was to utilize new techniques in exposure assessment to characterize exposures to volatile organic compounds during construction painting activities.
