The effect of temperature on the chemical and sensory emission of indoor materials
conference paper
Experiments on the effect of temperature on the chemical and sensory emission of indoor materials are described. Four materials were selected to be investigated: a carpet, an oil-based paint, a plywood board and a water-based paint. For each material two conditions were tested, 23 and 30°C, each for circa two weeks. It was concluded that, temperature may have a significant influence on the chemically measured emission rate, depending however on the material or source tested. Temperature did not seem to influence the sensory emission significantly during a period of two weeks. The chemical measured decay of TVOC emission proceeds faster than the sensory decrement. Sensory emission can continue longer than two weeks.
