Finding F-1216
“It should be highlighted that all the values are above the guideline limit value derived, assuming an excess lifetime risk of 1/1,000,000 of 0.17 μg/m3 [1].”
Structure
- Source
- Candles and incense
- Factor
- Benzene
- Method
- Emission test chamber method
- Setting
- test chamber, PT
- Study design
- emission chamber study of twelve incense products sold in Portugal: volatile organic compounds, very volatile organic compounds and aldehydes sampled from the chamber by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and by high performance liquid chromatography, converted through the specific emission rate into a short-term peak concentration and a worst-case time-weighted average for a room of 30 m3, and compared with air quality guideline values (class 4)
- Effect
- share-above 12 per 0.17 μg/m3
- Sample
- 12 samples
- Caveat
- a count of products, not a share of time or of rooms; the threshold is a risk-based value the study derives, not a measured quantity
