Finding F-1364

“Similarly, TVOC levels rose by an average of 27 ppbv across all locations and cleaners following cleaning events, with the exception of thymol, which did not increase TVOC levels, though this may be due to instrumental limitations.”

Particulate Matter and Total Volatile Organic Compound Emissions Following Surface Cleaning: Comparison of Cleaning Agents and Locations Published as part of ACS Earth and Space Chemistry special issue “Hartmut Herrmann Festschrift”. (2025). ACS Earth Space Chem. Page 7. CKB 1152

Structure

Factor: Total volatile organic compounds (TVOC)
Study design: measurement study of common cleaners and disinfectants in real indoor settings, among them a hotel lobby, lift and public bathroom during routine surface disinfection: fine particulate matter and total volatile organic compounds measured before, during and after each cleaning event, for bleach, quaternary ammonium compounds, thymol and other products (class 3)
Effect: difference 27
Caveat: thymol is the exception the sentence names, which did not raise the level, possibly because of the instrument
