Background TVOC (total volatile organic compounds) has been used as a sum parameter in
indoor air sciences for over 40 years. In the beginning, individual VOC concentrations …

Abstract Purpose of Review Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of more
than 7,000 fluorinated compounds. The carbon-fluorine bond of PFAS provides desirable …

Chemicals used in building materials can be a major passive emission source indoors,
associated with the deterioration of indoor environmental quality. This study aims to screen …

Exposures to per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are of increasing concern.
Assessments typically focus only on ingestion and inhalation exposure due to a lack of …

Flame retardants (FRs) are added to vehicles to meet flammability standards, such as US
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS 302. However, an understanding of which …

Indoor semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), present in the air, airborne particles,
settled dust, and other indoor surfaces, can enter the human body through several …

Many manmade organic air pollutants are semivolatile and primarily used and exposed
indoors. It remains unclear how indoor environmental parameters affect indoor air dynamics …

Hazardous chemicals in building and construction plastics can lead to health risks due to
indoor exposure and may contaminate recycled materials. We systematically sampled new …

Historically air constituents have been assumed to be well mixed in indoor environments,
with single point measurements and box modeling representing a room or a house. Here we …
