A reflective approach is adopted in analyzing the reviews on the impact of indoor air quality
on humans over the last 30 years (1986–2016). The major findings reiterate the concerns of …

Through air inhalation, dust ingestion and dermal exposure, the indoor environment plays
an important role in controlling human chemical exposure. Indoor emissions and chemistry …

Human-emitted volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are mainly from breath and the skin. In
this study, we continuously measured VOCs in a stainless-steel environmentally controlled …

Plastic films have become an integral part of fruit and vegetable production systems, but
their release of phthalate acid esters (PAEs) is a threat to human health. The release kinetics …

There is an ongoing probing of the role of chemicals in the indoor environment. The majority
of potential target substances are so‐called very volatile, volatile, and semi‐volatile organic …

Human civilization is currently facing two particular challenges: population growth with a
strong trend towards urbanization and climate change. The latter is now no longer seriously …

Phthalate esters are substances mainly used as plasticizers in various applications. Some
have been restricted and phased out due to their adverse health effects and ubiquitous …

Phthalates are among the most ubiquitous environmental contaminants and endocrine-
disrupting chemicals. Exposure to phthalates and related health effects have been …

Occupational exposure to aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) can lead to elevated
concentrations of per-and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in firefighter blood sera …

Background Fundamental considerations indicate that, for certain phthalate esters, dermal
absorption from air is an uptake pathway that is comparable to or greater than inhalation. Yet …
