Developing Reference Materials for VOC, Formaldehyde and SVOC Emissions Testing
… (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) constitute important classes of indoor contaminants. Emissions of VOCs and SVOCs from myriad building materials and consumer products cause high indoor concentrations with health risks that may be orders-of-magnitude greater than outdoors. …

Investigation into the partitioning of Lindane between air and dust in indoor environments
… of harmful semi volatile organic compounds (SVOC) in the indoor environment is important because on average people spend over 90% of their time indoors. Lindane, an SVOC which was widely used in the UK until 2004, adsorbs to house dust. House dust acts as a reservoir for such contaminants …

Proximity to Potential Sources and Mountain Cold-trapping of Semi-volatile Organic Contaminants
… persistent, semi-volatile organic contaminants (SVOCs) can travel long distances through the atmosphere from their points of release and become concentrated in cold, remote regions. As air is sampled for SVOCs to establish both their presence and the success of emission reduction efforts, it …

Numerical Modeling of Steam Flushing for Removal of Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquids
… effectiveness of steam flushing for removal of SVOC from DNAPL mixtures of VOCs and SVOCs. The results illustrated conditions under which vertical remobilization of DNAPL, particularly the semi-volatile compounds, would be limited.

Monitoring of atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through optimization of analytical techniques
… monitoring of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), with most attention being given to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) priority PAHs. These portable PDMS samplers are currently being analyzed by direct thermal desorption using a commercial desorber, which is quite …

Modeling study of the hygroscopic, optical, and cloud-activation properties of aerosols from biofuel combustion
… co-emission of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) or emission at small aerosol sizes. SVOC co-emission can be the main factor determining CCN activity for hydrophobic or small aerosols. Coagulation limits emission of CCN to about 1016 per kg of fuel. Depending on emission factor, aerosol …

Characterizing the Binding Potential, Activity, and Bioaccessibility of Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor Gamma (PPARγ) Ligands in Indoor Dust
… groups of major semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) that are ubiquitously detected in indoor environments, including flame retardants such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and Firemaster 550 (FM550), and other SVOCs such as phthalates, organotins, halogenated phenols and bisphenols. …
