| Abstract | 10 household products, eight waxes or polishes, and two detergents have been screened by a headspace technique for the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Using Tenax sampling and analysis by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) more than 80 single compounds or groups of isomers have been identified, and semiquantitative data on the initial emission rates (emission rate immediately after application) have been obtained. Products fall into two groups: those containing water as a main (80 to 90%) constituent and those without water. The initial emission rate of the first group ranged from 0.2 to 2 μg cm−2min−1, whereas the second group had higher emission rates of up to 430 μg cm−2min−1. Products of the second group emit essentially hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, and terpenes), whereas most products of the first group emit oxygenated compounds including terpene alcohols and their acetates, aliphatic alcohols and esters, and alkoxy-alcohols. |
