Material Effects: DCB
These results illustrate the extent to which dichlorobenzene is adsorbed to several different materials over a 10 hour release period. Carpet appears to be the interior material with the greatest affinity for sorbing and storing dichlorobenzene. However, sorption can also occur to material such as unpainted, painted, and wall-papered gypsum board, vinyl flooring, and even to apples that are left exposed to contaminants in indoor air.
