“…The presence of indoor air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can dramatically affect indoor air quality (IAQ) and hence, human health. 1,2 Among various VOC types, aldehydes emitted by household finishes and associated materials like paints and adhesives can cause serious health concerns, especially when their concentration exceeds the upper recommended limit. 3,4 For example, exposure to a dose of 0.5 mg/m 3 formaldehyde (HCHO) over a prolonged time can lead to airway irritation and rhinitis.…”

“…There is no doubt that the quality of the indoor environment has a significant effect on human health, given that people spend most of their day in indoor settings. The presence of indoor air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can dramatically affect indoor air quality (IAQ) and hence, human health. , Among various VOC types, aldehydes emitted by household finishes and associated materials like paints and adhesives can cause serious health concerns, especially when their concentration exceeds the upper recommended limit. , For example, exposure to a dose of 0.5 mg/m 3 formaldehyde (HCHO) over a prolonged time can lead to airway irritation and rhinitis . Recent studies have shown that indoor HCHO concentration in 70% of newly built apartments exceeded the national standards …”

This study presents the preparation, characterization, and formaldehyde (HCHO) adsorption performance of hybrid mixed-metal oxide (MMO)− coated latex composites for indoor air quality control. The hybrid MMO−latex composites were prepared by coating a thin layer of TiO 2 /SiO 2 particles onto a latex polymer film using polypropylene glycol (PPG) to aid in uniform deposition of MMO particles via hydrogen bonding, while also providing additional active sites for HCHO adsorption. The effect of PPG content on the HCHO removal performance of the composites in terms of capture capacity and kinetics were systematically investigated. The indoor chamber tests indicated that the HCHO adsorption capacity and kinetics of the composite thin film increased by 36% and 63%, respectively, compared to those of its MMO-incorporated latex analogue under identical conditions. Moreover, our results indicated that upon increasing the PPG content from 0 to 90 wt %, the HCHO adsorption capacity and rate were significantly enhanced from 0.36 to 0.57 mmol/g and 0.01 to 0.14 h −1 , respectively, due to increased affinity and better accessibility to the adsorption active sites in the thin films with uniformly deposited MMO particles. The increase in the humidity level from 45 to 80% RH was also found to promote the rate of HCHO capture by 50%. The findings of this work demonstrate that hybrid MMO−coated latex composites have superior HCHO adsorptive performance compared to their incorporated MMO−latex analogues.

“…24 The analysis method widely used in wooden furniture testing is gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). 13,20,22,[25][26][27] To accurately determine the principles governing the release of VOCs from wooden panels and wooden furniture, some physical parameters are essential, such as the internal initial release concentration, internal diffusion rate, and partition constants of organic compounds in the panels and air. 23,[28][29][30][31][32] There are two signicant ways in which organic compounds in IAP affect the quality of life: one is the health hazards that arise from the pollution, 33 and the other is the odor impact of the pollutants.…”

“…Ongoing anthropogenic activities are resulting in uncontrolled emissions of aromatic hydrocarbons, one of the most detrimental classes of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), that are accumulating in the troposphere [1][2][3][4]. As a result of this accumulation, atmospherically-induced oxidation produces low-volatility species called secondary organic aerosols (SOAs), which act as intermediates in cloud condensation and ice crystal formation [5,6].…”

Force field parameters were developed for catechol and used to produce optimized structures of catechol dimers and catechol-(H2O)n clusters. The force field optimized structures for the catechol dimer and catechol-(H2O)n (with n = 1 and 2) clusters are benchmarked against quantum chemistry calculations at the B3LYP and w97XD levels of theory; with the quantum chemistry calculations taking into account basis set superposition error. The force field predicts, in agreement with B3LYP and w97XD reasonable structures and relative binding energies for two dimer structures and six catechol-(H2O)n clusters (with n = 1, 2). The developed forcefield parameters are then used to conduct molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for catechol-(H2O)15 cluster to highlight the effect of increased coordination number on the H-bond network around catechol with potential impact on the reactivity of catechol towards ozone in wet conditions. The result of MD simulations suggests that water molecules form a cage of H-bonds network around the hydroxyl groups of catechol, thereby blocking the active sites on catechol.
