The research proves that the identification of volatile organic compounds emitted from the coatings in a car workshop paint line is an important step in assessing the working conditions in the paint line and possible consequences for the health of employees should be discussed theoretically. However, further studies are needed to analyse air samples from the factory and assess the actual impact on employees.

One of the main reasons for the degradation of working conditions is the lack of air quality. It is known that indoor air contaminants pose a risk to both the human organism and the environment, which constitutes a challenge for employers and major industries. A car factory painting line is an evident example of a work location in which the employers must be especially aware and concerned with the employees’ health. Since the coatings are the main VOCs-emitting source, this work studied the analytes emitted by four primers, 17 basecoats and one varnish used in a car factory of a world-renowned automotive brand, with gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS), as a way of identifying all the coating-borne VOCs that can be emitted to the indoor air.
