Monitoring Indoor Air Refresher by HS-GC/MS

User Benefits

- Air refresher vs time lapse is easily monitored - Chemicals other than target compounds are also captured and monitored - A personal exposure is measured to ensure the safety of the product

Introduction

Indoor insect repellents, antifungal agents, air refreshers and moisture adsorbents have become household essentials. Among the most popular products is a hanger type that reportedly remains effective for weeks and months. With the popularity also comes a safety concern as consumers are exposed to chemicals emitted from such a product over an extended period. In this application, a hanger type air refresher was monitored over three consecutive days. Emitted chemicals were analyzed each day at 0, 1, and 2 meter points from the product. An exposure level was also measured by attaching a passive sampler to a volunteer and letting the subject stay in the room for 8 hours.
