Abstract | Contaminated water can lead to the volatilization of chemicals to residential indoor air. However, previous research has focused on one source, namely showers. In addition, research has been limited to chemicals in which gas-phase resistance to mass transfer is of marginal significance. As a result, attempts to extrapolate chemical emissions from highly volatility chemical to lower volatility chemicals, or to source other than showers, have been difficult or impossible. This report presents the results of a series of experiments conducted to determine emissions from four sources of water use in a household (showers, bathtubs, washing machines, and dishwashers). Mass transfer coefficients and chemical stripping efficiencies were determined using these four sources and five tracer chemicals (acetone, ethyl acetate, toluene, ethylbenzene, and cyclohexane). The report presents a protocol for estimating emission rates for chemical other than those used in the experiments using a series of mass balance models. |
