Personal space chemistry suppressed by perfume and body lotion indoors New study shows that the human oxidation field generated by people indoors is substantially influenced by personal care products.

This means: People generate their own oxidation field and change the indoor air chemistry around them within their own personal space.

Findings have implications for the indoor chemistry, the air quality of occupied spaces, and human health.

Researchers from Denmark , USA , Germany , Denmark , Germany and Italy conducted experiments in a climate-controlled chamber.

They found lotions suppress the human oxidation field due to dilution of skin oil constituents and reduced interaction between O3 and the skin.

Phenoxyethanol in the body lotion, which reacts with OH but does not generate OH with ozone, is the same as the perfume.
