The aim of this study was to assess the performance of a method of analyzing organic esters of plasticizer in indoor air by sampling air in a charcoal tube and extracting the esters in toluene using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) and flame photometric detector (FPD). An internal standardization method was used for the GC-MS measurement of phthalate esters, whereas an external calibration method was employed to determine the levels of phosphate esters by FPD. The instrumental detection limit, the instrumental lower limit of determination, and the blank and method detection limits were also determined. Mean recoveries of phthalate esters from the charcoal tube were 97.9-115%. Mean recoveries of phosphate esters were lower but reproducible. Recoveries of the esters from indoor air were generally greater than 80%. For all the compounds, no significant breakthrough was detected up to 100 microg. Thus, indoor organic esters could be accurately determined in the range of 0.6 x 10(-3)-23 microg/m3 by the procedure presented here. Preliminary analysis of the organic esters indicated that exposure to phthalate esters via indoor air inhalation could constitute a significant contribution to total daily intake.
