چکیده
CHCl3 and CCl4 were the dominating halogenated VOCs in chlorine bleach products. Indoor air VOC estimates indicated substantial increases from bleach use. Carcinogenic risks from the use of bleach products may be considerably high. a r t i c l e i n f o

Identification of volatile/semivolatile products derived from chemical remediation of cis-1,3-dichloropropene by thiosulfate.
The prevalent use of soil fumigants has resulted in air pollution in some agricultural regions. Our previous research showed that application of thiosulfate fertilizers at the soil surface may offer an effective and economical approach to reduce the emission of halogenated fumigants via a chemical remediation process. In this fumigant emission-reduction strategy, volatile 1,3-dichloropropene (1...
متن کاملChildren’s Vulnerability Related to Chlorine Exposure, Container Confusion, and Mixing Household Cleaners – Florida, 2006-2008
Acute and chronic effects of exposure to chlorine and chloramines can result in the irritation of the skin and mucous membranes, often leading to airway edema resulting in respiratory difficulties, burning in the throat, eyes and nose. Ingestion of bleach or bleach-containing products often results in adverse gastrointestinal effects. Data captured by the three centers comprising the Florida Po...
متن کاملSynthesis of functionalised azepanes and piperidines from bicyclic halogenated aminocyclopropane derivatives.
A series of 6,6-dihalo-2-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane and 7,7-dihalo-2-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane compounds were prepared by the reaction of dihalocarbene species with N-Boc-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrroles or -1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines. Monochloro substrates were synthesised as well, using a chlorine-to-lithium exchange reaction. The behaviour of several aldehydes and ketones under reductive amination condi...
متن کاملEmission Rates of Volatile Organic Compounds Released from Newly Produced Household Furniture Products Using a Large-Scale Chamber Testing Method
The emission rates of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured to investigate the emission characteristics of five types of common furniture products using a 5 m(3) size chamber at 25°C and 50% humidity. The results indicated that toluene and α-pinene are the most dominant components. The emission rates of individual components decreased constantly through time, approaching the equilibri...
متن کاملApplication of Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction for Determination of Chloro-Organic Compounds in Sewage Samples
Solid phase microextraction (SPME) has been optimized and applied to the determination of the volatile halogenated compounds (VHCs) and semi-volatile halogenated compounds (SVHCs). Three types of SPME fiber coated with different stationary phases (PDMS-100 mum, CAR/PDMS-75 mum, PDMS/DVB-65 mum) were used to examine their extraction efficiencies for the compounds tested. Experimental parameters ...
