Are there any scientific and research studies on indoor pollutants (VOCs) emitted by electrical appliances (PC, notebook, copier, printer, plazma (PDP) or LCD TV) ?
You can find some information about this topic here:

Here is my list of papers related to VOC emissions from office equipment.
Hope this might be useful, at least as an historic update.
