Cloth-Air Partitioning Of Oxybenzone, Jonathan T. Hill
Cloth-Air Partitioning Of Oxybenzone, Jonathan T. Hill
Masters Theses
"Clothing has been proven to be a significant accumulator of chemicals from the air. Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) have a high affinity towards textiles, and measuring the equilibrium partition coefficient between cloth and air (Kcloth-air) for SVOCs is crucial in predicting human exposure to these compounds. This study aims to quantify Kcloth-air for oxybenzone to contribute to a larger human exposure experiment carried out at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Kcloth-air for oxybenzone was calculated using data collected from the exposure chamber at DTU and from performing extractions of oxybenzone in fabric samples from the …
