Semi Volatile Organic Compounds and Flame Retardants. Occurrence in Indoor Environments and Risk Assessment for Indoor Exposure
The study showed that SVOCs and FRs are emitted at low levels at room temperature from common building materials. However, the variety of compounds emitted and emission ranges varied markedly depending on which building product was measured. SVOC (and VOC) SERs increased markedly when the temperature increased to 40 degrees C. In real life, such temperatures can be reached on surfaces with direct sunlight during the summer or in cases when floor heating is used. Consequently, exposure assessments for SVOCs in such environments can be assessed better based on the emission results collected during this project. Exposures at room temperature were estimated to <0.1 - <2 mg/kg day. However, the migration of FRs and SVOCs into indoor air is probably less from building materials that are inside a structure, e.g. insulation, which decreases exposure to these compounds indoors.
