Synthetic leathers as a possible source of chemicals and odorous substances in indoor environment
Original language description
This article deals with volatile organic substances (VOCs) and odours that can be released into the indoor environment from synthetic leathers that are part of upholstered furniture. The primary task of this study was to provide a detailed analysis of selected synthetic leathers and assess their emission characteristics, including odour substances. VOC emissions were determined using the test chamber method (ČSN EN ISO 16000-9) at a temperature of 23oC and a relative humidity of 50%. The emitted compounds were adsorbed by standard stainless steel tubes with Tenax TA sorbent. VOCs were analysed by thermal desorption and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry The properties of odours were tested using a Sniffer 9000 device, which was directly connected to a gas chromatograph with a flame ionization detector. The dominant substances (with the highest concentration) that were emitted by samples of tested synthetic leathers include toluene (118.2 µg.mMINUS SIGN 3), 1,2-propanediol (46.2 µg.mMINUS SIGN 3), and limonene (153.0 µg.mMINUS SIGN 3). Ohio synthetic leather produced the most unpleasantness hedonic tone (-4) from all evaluated materials.
