Handbook of Indoor Air Quality

Abstract

Indoor surfaces support a wide variety of chemical transformations that can both reduce and increase the concentrations of indoor air pollutants. Building materials, furnishings, and occupants contribute to the large amount and very wide variety of exposed surfaces. Chemistry can take place directly at the interface between surface and air or in films that coat these surfaces. Important transformations include ozone reactions with surface oils like triglycerides and squalene; these lower indoor air concentrations of ozone but consequently increase the air concentrations of aldehydes, acids, and particles. Nitrogen oxides can react at surfaces to generate nitrous acid which then participates in the conversion of amines to potentially carcinogenic nitrosamines. Hydrolysis of phthalate plasticizers increases levels of odorous chemicals and acid-base chemistry controls the rate of some reactions while serving to store vast amounts of otherwise volatile molecules in surface reservoirs. To better understand and control indoor chemistry, research is now seeking a more fundamental understanding of the composition and morphology of surfaces as well as the mechanisms and rates of surface chemistry that degrade our indoor air quality.
