Carcinogenic VOC Screening by OEKO-TEX Framework
topic
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 carcinogenic VOC screening uses thermal desorption GC-MS to quantify benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and chlorinated solvents in textile specimens against product class-specific concentration limits, providing a comprehensive volatile carcinogen and neurotoxin screen across all organic solvent-derived compounds detectable by thermal desorption analysis.
Role
Provides the comprehensive volatile carcinogen screening coverage required for OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification across all textile product classes, systematically identifying solvent-derived chemical hazards in finished textiles that would not be captured by targeted individual substance testing approaches.
