Feasibility of sustainable recycling of drill cutting as additive in flexible base
… (TPH) mobility but had minimal effect on semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and increased trace metal leaching. Cement significantly improved compressive strength but had limited effect on TPH and SVOCs mobility. Its performance was reduced in the presence of hydrocarbons due to …

Impact of an Epoxy Pipe Lining Material on Distribution System Water Quality
… metals, disinfectant consumption, total organic carbon (TOC), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), disinfectant byproduct (DBP) formation, and odor. Results of the study showed relatively low impacts on water quality, as all USEPA drinking water regulations were met. Impacts were …

Developing Reference Materials for VOC, Formaldehyde and SVOC Emissions Testing
Volatile organic compounds (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 …

Molecular Simulation Study of Oil Hydrocarbons, Dispersants and Other Organics in Atmospheric Air/Water Interfaces
… is to study the interfacial properties of organic contaminants, in particular green leaf volatiles (GLVs), oil hydrocarbons [mainly intermediate-volatile organic compounds (IVOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs)], as well as surfactant species (i.e. DOSS and Span 80) from …

Method Development For Concentration Measurements of SVOCs and Analysis of Ambient Samples
Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) comprise a wide range of toxic pollutants in the atmosphere. Phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and n-alkanes are specific examples of SVOCs that are the focus of this project. SVOCs are compounds with intermediate vapour pressures and can exist …

Droplet and Particle Dynamics in Aerosol Reactors and Environmental System
… the impact of harmful aerosols on human health. Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) are very common indoor pollutant which are present in every household. These compounds can phase-partition and exists in the air in both gas and particle phase. Diffusion denuders are used to separate gas and …

Modeling study of the hygroscopic, optical, and cloud-activation properties of aerosols from biofuel combustion
… population mixing state are 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. …

Emissions of Phthalate Plasticizer from Polymeric Building Materials
… fundamental mechanisms governing emissions of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) from polymeric materials and their subsequent interaction with indoor surfaces and airborne particles was developed. The emissions model is consistent with analogous mechanistic models that predict emission of …

Monitoring of atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through optimization of analytical techniques
… portable denuder devices for the 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 …

Characterizing the Binding Potential, Activity, and Bioaccessibility of Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor Gamma (PPARγ) Ligands in Indoor Dust
… and activation of several 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, …
