Characterization of chemicals in household products is important for understanding this potential source of chemical exposure. Increasingly, suspect screening and nontargeted analysis techniques are used to characterize as many chemical signatures as possible. Solids such as household products are most conveniently prepared using solvent extraction, revealing what chemicals are contained within the product matrix but providing no information about the potential of those chemicals to leave the matrix and cause actual exposure. In this work, the profile and relative abundances of "extractable" chemical signatures found after solvent extraction are compared to those "emittable" to the headspace for 81 household products analyzed by two-dimensional gas chromatography timeof-flight mass spectrometry. This study retrospectively fuses data collected in separate efforts over 3.8 years and 13 analytical batches. Management of the data is made possible by recent developments in processing systems for complex data such as Highlight. Compounds were generically classified as aromatic heteroatom, aromatic hydrocarbon, glycol, hydrocarbon, long chain heteroatom, nonaromatic heteroatom, and unknown/ unclassified. Class-based retention time and abundance trends were observed. Liquid extraction resulted in the greatest number of features and the highest relative abundances, while low temperature emission conditions produced the smallest number of features and lowest relative abundances.

Consumer spray products (CSPs) are widely used in daily life, yet it is challenging to find products that fully disclose all components posing health risks. Existing studies primarily focus on product components or VOC quantities emitted during use. Therefore, this study aimed to measure the VOC concentrations emitted by CSPs at varying distances. 47 CSPs available in the Korean market were selected, spanning three spray groups: antiseptics/insecticides (11), aromatic deodorants (16), and coating/polishing agents (20). VOC in air samples were collected using Tenax TA tube at a distance of 1 and 3 m from the sprayed CSPs and then analyzed by thermal desorption–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry system. Discrepancies were found between labeled and actual product components. Aromatic deodorants exhibited the highest total VOCs (TVOCs), while antiseptic/insecticide sprays exhibited the lowest. In the antiseptic/insecticide group and coating/polishing agent group, benzene as a propellant had a maximum concentration (30.9 ± 25.6 ppb), and as trigger, its concentration was 33.7 ± 30.7 ppb. Quantitative analysis using advanced analytical instruments only explained 26.1 ± 20.4% of toluene-equivalent TVOCs, suggesting the presence of additional substances. Concentrations varied by distance due to substance volatility and usage. Maintaining a distance of at least 1 m from CSPs is recommended.
