Abstract
The effects of using a commercial diffuser indoors were evaluated using a study group of 60 homes in Ashford, UK. Air samples were taken over 3 day periods with the diffuser switched on and in a parallel set of control homes where it was off. At least four measurements were taken in each home using vacuum-release into 6 L silica-coated canisters and with >40 VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) quantified using a custom thermal desorber unit (TDU), Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph (GC) fitted with flame ionisation detectors (FID) and an Agilent 5977A quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS). Occupants self-reported their use of other VOC-containing products.
Data collected was used to understand better how the use of a plug-in diffuser increases population exposure to indoor VOCs.
