Adsorption of trichloroethylene on common indoor materials studied using a combined inverse gas chromatography and frequency response technique.

ABSTRACT: Building materials can act as sinks and sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are indoor air contaminants. A knowledge of the dynamics of VOC sorption processes on building materials is needed in order to fully understand how these compounds can influence indoor air quality, and thus, their potential for influencing human health. In the current work, a combination of classical inverse gas chromatography (IGC) and frequency response (FR) technique was used to investigate the sorptive partition and diffusion coefficients of trichloroethylene (TCE) on building materials. This is a compound of considerable interest in many indoor air environments, particularly those impacted by vapor intrusion processes, and the TCE also serves as a model VOC for demonstrating the method.
