Identifying major volatile pollutants and the risk in adhesive gaseous emissions is of great significance, but remains rarely reported. In the present research, we assessed the major volatile pollutants emitted from white emulsion adhesive and silicone adhesive samples (n = 30) from three aspects: chemical composition, odor and health risk contributions. The results showed that a total of 21 volatile pollutants were detected. Significantly, xylene was the most concentrated compound from white emulsion adhesives, accounting for 45.51% of the total concentrations. Butanone oxime was the most concentrated compound in silicone adhesives, accounting for 69.86% of the total concentrations. The trends in odor concentration (evaluated by the odor activity value method) over time were well correlated with the total chemical concentrations. Xylene (58.00%) and butanone oxime (76.75%) showed the highest odor contribution, respectively. Moreover, from an integrated perspective of chemical emissions, odor and health risk contributions, xylene, ethylbenzene, ethyl acetate and benzene were identified as the key volatile pollutants emitted from the white emulsion adhesives, while butanone oxime, butanone, and ethanol were the key volatile pollutants emitted from the silicone adhesives. This study not only identified the key volatile pollutants but also provided characteristics of odor and health risks of gas emitted from adhesives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27031125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,8]],"date-time":"2022-02-08T23:42:20Z","timestamp":1644363740000},"page":"1125","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Characterizing Key Volatile Pollutants Emitted from Adhesives by Chemical Compositions, Odor Contributions and Health Risks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Zixuan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Biological Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"State Environmental Protection Key Laboratory of Odor Pollution Control, Tianjin Academy of Ecoenvironmental Sciences, Tianjin 300191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yipu","family":"Pei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Building Material Test & Certification Group Co., Ltd., Beijing 100024, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Municipal Institute of Labor Protection, Beijing 100054, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuandong","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Biological Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chen","family":"Qu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Biological Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weifang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Environmental Protection Key Laboratory of Odor Pollution Control, Tianjin Academy of Ecoenvironmental Sciences, Tianjin 300191, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanjun","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Biological Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2600-6975","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiemin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Biological Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129815","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chemosphere.2021.129815","article-title":"Source profiles and emission factors of VOCs from solvent-based architectural coatings and their contributions to ozone and secondary organic aerosol formation in China","volume":"275","author":"Gao","year":"2021","journal-title":"Chemosphere"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9075","DOI":"10.1021\/es202132u","article-title":"Volatile Organic Compounds in Small- and Medium-Sized Commercial Buildings in California","volume":"45","author":"Wu","year":"2011","journal-title":"Environ.
