We developed an analytical method for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used as film-forming agents or anti-freeze agents in water-based paints by flame ionization detection (FID-GC) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Twelve VOC components were separated using 2 types of column that differ in polarity. In addition, a pretreatment method by ethyl acetate-water partition was evaluated, and a survey of the use of VOCs in commercially available water-based paints was performed. For indoor paints, the anti-VOC measures included changes from VOC solvents to semi-VOC (SVOC) solvents such as those from 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediolmonoisobutyrate (TMPMIB) to 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate and from ethylene glycol (EG) to triethylene glycol. However, in multipurpose paints for both indoor and outdoor use, VOCs such as EG, TMPMIB, diethyleneglycol dibutyl ether, and diethyleneglycol monobutyl ether were detected. Since these products may be also used for indoor painting, indications of VOC components and caution for use on products are necessary.

“…No entanto, o uso deste tipo de dispositivo só foi difundido a partir de 1973, quando Palmes & Gunnison 5 estabeleceram suas bases teóricas e desenvolveram um amostrador difusivo em forma de tubo, para SO 2 . Desde então, uma grande variedade de amostradores têm sido descritos e comercializados, restringindo-se porém a medidas de exposição profissional [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] e, só recentemente começou-se a estudar a sua aplicabilidade para o monitoramento ambiental externo [14][15][16][17][18][19] , o qual engloba concentrações geralmente 30 vezes menores do que aquelas em ambientes de trabalho e, em casos específicos, de poluentes como SO 2 , O 3 e NO 2 , duas ou três ordens de magnitude mais baixas.…”

“…BBP have been also previously determined in the ambient air in Barcelona, Spain, with a concentration ranging 0.25 -8.0 ng m −3 , associated with coarse (>7.2 m) and fine particulate (<0.5 m), respectively [80]. DEP was determined in Newark (USA) in the indoor air and outdoor air, with concentrations ranging from 1.60 to 2.03 g m −3 , and from 0.40 to 0.52 g m −3 [81], respectively. As compared to the concentrations of phthalates in urban or contaminated area, the concentrations in the atmosphere over the North Sea are 1-2 orders of magnitude lower.…”

Abstract.A number of studies have demonstrated that several classes of chemicals act as biologically relevant signalling substances.Among these chemicals, many, including PCBs, DDT and dioxins, are semi-volatile, persistent, and are capable of long-range atmospheric transport via atmospheric circulation. Some of these compounds, e.g. phthalates and alkylphenols (APs) are still manufactured and consumed worldwide even though there is clear evidence that they are toxic to aquatic organisms and can act as endocrine disruptors.Concentrations of NP, t-OP and NP1EO, DMP, DEP, DBP, BBP, and DEHP have been simultaneously determined in the surface sea water and atmosphere of the North Sea. Atmospheric concentrations of NP and t-OP ranged from 7 to 110 pg m −3 , which were one to three orders of magnitude below coastal atmospheric concentrations already reported. NP1EO was detected in both vapor and particle phases, which ranged from 4 to 50 pg m −3 . The concentrations of the phthalates in the atmosphere ranged from below the method detection limit to 3.4 ng m −3 . The concentrations of t-OP, NP, and NP1EO in dissolved phase were 13-300, 90-1400, and 17-1660 pg L −1 . DBP, BBP, and DEHP were determined in the water phase with concentrations ranging from below the method detection limit to 6.6 ng L −1 . This study indicates that atmospheric deposition of APs and phthalates into the North Sea is an important input pathway. The net fluxes indicate that the air-sea exchange is significant and, consequently the open ocean and polar areas will be an extensive sink for APs and phthalates.
