Finding F-1219
“Naphthalene was below the limit of detection in four incenses (Inc 1, Inc 2, Inc 5, and Inc 12), and values were relatively low in the other products, conducting to TWA values below 0.03 μg/m3, being therefore below the guideline value of 10 μg/m3.”
Structure
- Source
- Candles and incense
- Factor
- Naphthalene
- 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 0 per 0.03 μg/m3
- Sample
- 12 samples
- Caveat
- the study measures the gaseous phase only and says naphthalene would probably be found at higher concentrations in the particulate phase
