Finding F-1065
“The highest concentration of TVOCs was recorded in sample B (KF94), a disposable mask (3730 ± 1331 μg m–3).”
Structure
- Factor
- Total volatile organic compounds (TVOC)
- Setting
- test chamber, KR (immediately after the packaging was opened)
- Study design
- chamber study of the volatile organic compounds released by face masks in Korea: total and individual compounds measured immediately after the packaging was opened, after 30 minutes, after 6 hours and at a raised temperature, for disposable and multi-use masks, with the inhaled mass estimated from the mass flow rate (class 4)
- Effect
- mean 3730
- Caveat
- a chamber measurement of the product, not a room concentration
