Investigation of RH effect on uncommon limonene ozonolysis products and SOA formation in indoor air with real time measurement techniques
PublicationScientific interest in SOA influence on indoor air quality increases since last 20 years. It is well known, that particles of nano-sized diameter pose a threat for human health causing, among others: eye, upper airway irritation, inflammatory response in cells, worsening asthma, hypertension, diabetes, and central nervous dysfunction. Terpenes are reactive VOCs, commonly emitted in indoor air and considered to be SOA precursors...

Recent advances on SOA formation in indoor air, fate and strategies for SOA characterization in indoor air - A review
PublicationRecent studies proves that indoor air chemistry differs in many aspects from atmospheric one. People send up to 90 % of their life indoors being exposed to pollutants present in gas, particle and solid phase. Particle phase indoor is composed of particles emitted from various sources, among which there is an indoor source – secondary chemical reactions leading to formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Lately, researchers'...

Investigation on air quality of specific indoor environments—spa salons located in Gdynia, Poland
PublicationDue to excessive application of essential oils and scented products in spa salons during aromatherapy and massage sessions, the elevated concentration of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), particularly terpenes, which are known as secondary organic aerosol (SOA) precursors, is expected there. This study was aimed at determination of VOCs with a particular regard to terpenes in air samples collected in selected spa salons...

Investigation of the Dynamism of Nanosized SOA Particle Formation in Indoor Air by a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer and Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometry
PublicationTerpenes are VOCs of particular importance, since they are emitted from a wide range of indoor sources and are considered to be precursors of Secondary Organic Aerosol (SOA) formation. It has been proven that SOA particles, especially nanosized ones, pose a threat to human health. In this research, experiments with the application of an environmental chamber and real-time measurement techniques were carried out to investigate in...

Mass Spectrometry-Based Direct Analytical Techniques
PublicationDirect analysis of samples is considered as one of the most environmentally sustainable solutions in analytical chemistry. In the ideal case, such solutions do not require sample preparation and analytes separation steps, therefore do not consumpt harmful substances (or consumpt only minimum amounts of them) and do not generate hazardous waste. Technical solutions for direct analysis also offer miniaturized and field-portable analyzers...

Estry kwasów tłuszczowych i monochloropropanodioli w tłuszczach spożywczych oraz produktach spożywczych bogatych w tłuszcze - problemy i wyzwania
PublicationMonochloropropanodiole (3-monochloropropanodiol, 3-MCPD; 2-monochloropropanodiol, 2-MCPD) są zaliczane do zanieczyszczeń żywności powstających w wyniku procesów termicznego jej przetwarzania. Obecność tych ksenobiotyków w żywności została stwierdzona już w 1978 r. w sosach sojowych i produktach pokrewnych. Wzmożone zainteresowanie tymi związkami, które ma miejsce od 2004 r. jest związane ze stwierdzeniem znacznych ilości 3-MCPD...

Influence of terpenes on indoor air quality
PublicationThe aim of this study was to investigate air quality in hairdresser salons, focusing on terpenes determination. Terpenes are known reactive volatile organic compounds that contribute to secondary organic aerosol formation. Those compounds are frequently found in cosmetic products as fragrance agents. Hairdresser salons are special kind of environment, where secondary organic aerosol concentration may be elevated. One hairdresser...

Terpeny w powietrzu wewnętrznym cz. I. Ich rola i znaczenie w kształtowaniu jakości powietrza wewnętrznego
PublicationPotencjał terpenów do tworzenia cząstek wtórnego aerozolu organicznego (SOA) został po raz pierwszy opisany już w 1960 roku. Od tamtego czasu naukowcy poświęcili dużo uwagi tej tematyce. Dzięki temu wiedza na temat powstawania i wpływu SOA na organizmy żywe, a także rozumienie procesów odpowiedzialnych za jego powstawanie znacząco wzrosły.
