Emissions of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) from one type of polyvinylchloride (PVC) flooring with approximately 13% (w/w) DEHP as plasticizer were measured in the Field and Laboratory Emission Cell (FLEC). The gas-phase concentrations of DEHP versus time were measured at air flow rate of 450 mL.min(-1) and five different temperatures: 23 degrees C, 35 degrees C, 47 degrees C, 55 degrees C, and 61 degrees C. The experiments were terminated two weeks to three months after steady-state was reached and the interior surface of the FLECs was rinsed with methanol to determine the surface concentration of DEHP. The most important findings are (1) DEHP steady-state concentrations increased greatly with increasing temperature (0.9 +/- 0.1 mu g.m(-3), 10 +/- 1 mu g.m(-3), 38 +/- 1 mu g.m(-3), 91 +/- 4 mu g.m(-3), and 198 +/- 5 mu g.m-3, respectively), (2) adsorption to the chamber walls decreased greatly with increasing temperature (measured partition coefficient between FLEC air and interior surface are: 640 +/- 146 m, 97 +/- 20 m, 21 +/- 5 m, 11 +/- 2 m, and 2 +/- 1 m, respectively), (3) gas-phase DEHP concentration in equilibrium with the vinyl flooring surface is close to the vapor pressure of pure DEHP, and (4) with an increase of temperature in a home from 23 to 35 degrees C, the amount of DEHP in the gas- and particle-phase combined is predicted to increase almost 10-fold. The amount in the gas-phase increases by a factor of 24 with a corresponding decrease in the amount on the airborne particles.
