The Analysis of Perfumes and Their Effect on Indoor Air Pollution

By John J. Manura

Presented at EAS, Somerset, NJ., November 1998

Index to Compounds in Perfumes

The following is a list of the compounds detected and identified in the 6 perfumes analyzed in this study. More than 800 compounds were detected but only the analytes with a siznificant presence and that could be identified with a quality match of 800 (based on 1000 for a perfect match) or better are listed. Even so, with the similar chemical structure of many compounds, as the terpenes and sesquiterpenes, the identification may not be accurate. None of the anlaytes were individually analyzed and the identification was based strictly based on mass spectrometer library searches from the Wiley and Nist mass spec databases. Therefore the following compounds are being listed as tentatively identified and all results are subject to error.

This article is only meant to describe methods that could be used to analyze perfumes and the techniques that could be used to determine the volatile organics that can be volatilized from perfumes into indoor air. The information and data published is informational only. The results published above are not all inclusive and the identification of any components in the described samples may not be correct since standards were not run with the samples and the identification was based solely on the Wiley and NIST mass spec libraries. Scientific Instrument Services accepts no responsibility and does not assume any liability for the accuracy of any of the published data. Scientific Instrument Services and the authors do not imply that any particular analyte present in the perfume samples studied is a health hazard or presents any hazard in its occurrence in indoor air in a confined space.
