Polymers used in 3D printing are known to emit hazardous materials when heated. While the emissions from pristine polymers and some filaments have been studied, many filaments contain additives that may influence their hazardous emissions. This research used a variety of commercially-available 3D printer filaments to assess the possibly formation of environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs), a class of surface-bound free radicals that have much longer lifetimes compared to their gas-phase counterparts. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to successfully identify EPFRs in particulate matter collected during regular 3D printer use. These findings should influence future studies on 3D printer emissions to include consideration of EPFR formation. These methodologies may be used by EPA's Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP), Consumer Protection and Safety Commission (CPSC), and National Institute of Occupational of Safety and Health (NIOSH).

Each sheet in the current spreadsheet contains data that was generated by the USEPA ORD and used in the manuscript entitled: Particle and Vapor Emissions from Vat Polymerization Desktop-scale 3-Dimensional Printers. For the research project the USEPA ORD was responsible for identifying the elemental composition and concentration for each of the 5 different resin used in the project. The chemical composition and concentration were determined for the as purchased uncured resin and a cured resin printed object. Data produced from the research that was included in the manuscript was presented in Table 3. Identities of elements in bulk feedstock resin, airborne particles emitted during vat polymerization 3-D printing, and printed objects; and Supporting Information Table S5 Elemental content of bulk grey liquid resins and printed solid objects by ICP analysis (mg/kg) The data presented in Table 3 is presented in Sheet2 and the data presented in Table S5 is located in Sheet3.
