Abstract

In this chapter, the large group of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, plasticizers (e.g., phthalates, DINCH, adipates), flame retardants (brominated and organophosphate flame retardants), per- and polyfluorinated substances, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, chlorinated paraffins, pyrethroids, bisphenols, parabens, organotin, synthetic musks, perchlorate, organic UV light protection filter, and diisocyanates are presented individually in detail. In addition to a brief description of the chemical–physical characteristics and the use of the substance, an overview of main health risks and, in particular, references to further scientific literature are given. In the foreground, however, are extensive presentations of the occurrence of the substances in indoor air and in house dust.
