植物挥发性气体与人类的健康安全

植物挥发性气体产生的原因主要是由于植物与自然的协同进化而产生的。一方面，植物挥发性气体的产生受昆虫、微生物、人类的干扰的影响；另一方面，植物的挥发性气体能对昆虫、微生物起到抑制作用，减少自身受伤害。目前国内外对植物挥发性气体的研究多从植物与昆虫、微生物的关系来进行，并形成了以化感作用研究为核心的化学生态学；而植物挥发性气体对人类的负面影响，特别是对人体健康安全的研究很少。文章结合作者的初步研究结果，综述植物的挥发性物质的产生原因、主要成份和对环境与生物的影响，特别是对人体健康安全的负面效应，为进一步研究植物挥发性气体和评价它们对人体健康安全的效应提供依据。

BVOCs versus human health and security

The coordination between plants and nature in the process of their evolution results in the occurrence of biogenic volatile organic components (BVOCs), which on the one hand, is influenced by the activities of the insects, microbes, and the human beings, while on the other hand, generates restraints on insects and microbes which help to reduce injuries done to themselves. Presently, researches on BVOCs, whether internationally or domestically, mostly start from the study of the relationships between plants and insects, and plants and microbes, and as a result, chemecology with a focus on allelopathy comes into shape whereas the negative effects of BVOCs on the human beings, especially on the human health, are seldom discussed. Based on the preparatory research carried out by us, the article tries to elaborate the reasons for the formation of BVOCs, their main compositions and their effects on the environment and the other creatures, especially those negative effects on human health and security, thus theoretically supporting further studies on the VOCs and their effects on the human health and security.
