Abstract
Semi volatile organic compounds (SVOC), such as di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP) and di-(2-ethylhexy) phthalate (DEHP), are known to be ubiquitous in indoor environments and frequently detected from house dust. It is reported that the levels of SVOC concentration in indoor floor dust have correlations with asthma and allergies of the inhabitants. SVOCs have a tendency to be adsorbed onto surfaces of airborne particles and house dust in indoor environments because of their low vapor pressures. Many studies investigated SVOC adsorption mechanisms on airborne particle, but few studies on settled dust particles had been carried out experimentally. The aim of this study was to investigate SVOC adsorption characteristics on settled particles by experiments.
