6、chemical compounds ofpotential health and regulatory concern including methylenediphenyl diisocyanate(MDI),polymeric MDI(MDI oligo-meric polyisocyanates mixture),flame retardants,aldehydes,and VOCs including blowing agents,and catalysts.Althoughspecific chemicals are discussed in this practice,other
7、 chemicalcompounds of interest can be quantified(see target compoundand generic formulation list in Appendix X1).Other chemicalcompounds used in SPF such as polyols,emulsifiers,andsurfactants are not addressed by this practice.Particulate sizingand distribution are also outside the scope of this pra
8、ctice.1.6 Emission rates during application are determined fromair phase concentration measurements that may include particlebound chemicals.SVOC deposition to floors and ceilings isalso quantified for post application modeling inputs.SVOCemission rates should only be used for modeling purposes fort
9、he duration of data collection.1.7 Four quantification methods are described for isocya-nates.The method chosen should consider safety issues such asflammability,the expected concentration,the presence ofisocyanate aerosol during the phase of interest(during and postapplication),and if the tested SP
