Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Biofiltration with Two Packing Materials
Environmental Technology, 2006The treatment of a gas stream containing a mixture of acetone, toluene and trichlorethylene (TCE) was tested in two biofilters packed with compost only (biofilter B1) or a mixture of pozzolan and compost (biofilter B2). The biofilter performance was evaluated at VOCs concentration of 101 mg m(-3) of acetone - 210 mg m(-3) of toluene - 89 mg m(-3) of ...

Aldehydes, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and Health
2019A variety of organic compounds are found in the indoor air. Aldehydes and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals categorized with boiling points from 50–100 °C to 240–260 °C; therefore, they can be found indoors in the gaseous phase. Formaldehyde is a dominant aldehyde found indoors.

Ionic liquid technology to recover volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2017Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) comprise a wide variety of carbon-based materials which are volatile at relatively low temperatures. Most of VOCs pose a hazard to both human health and the environment. For this reason, in the last years, big efforts have been made to develop efficient techniques for the recovery of VOCs produced from industry.

Real time analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in centenarians
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2015Centenarians are a model to study human longevity and the physiological process of aging. A plethora of studies on this model show the complexity of the system. Laboratory studies fail to find a biomarker of senescence. The real time exhaled breath volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been suggested as a new biomarker to detect and monitor ...

[Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC): definition, classification and properties].
Revue des maladies respiratoires, 2008The term volatile organi compounds includes a wide variety of chemical substances with the common feature of being carbon compounds that are volatile at ambient temperature. They can be classified into different families defined by their chemical formulae, each of which possesses common properties, although there may be major differences in terms of ...

Colorimetric Polydiacetylene–Aerogel Detector for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2017A new hybrid system comprising polydiacetylene (PDA), a chromatic conjugated polymer, embedded within aerogel pores has been constructed. The PDA-aerogel powder underwent dramatic color changes in the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), facilitated through infiltration of the gas molecules into the highly porous aerogel matrix and their ...

Polar Volatile Organic Compounds ( VOC ) of Natural Origin as Precursors of Ozone
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1994HRGC-MS determinations carried out on samples collected in urban, suburban, rural, forest and remote areas suggest that several other classes of non-methane VOC than isoprene and monoterpene hydrocarbons can be emitted by plants. Because of their high photochemical reactivity, they can contribute to tropospheric ozone production which, in turn, can ...
