A critical review on studies of volatile organic compound (VOC) sorption by building materials.

Author(s) : ZHANG J., CHEN Q., et al.

Summary

Authors found that existing sorption models can be generally classified into either first order adsorption/desorption rate models or equilibrium-interface models. The sorption of VOCs on building materials is usually measured by the widely used small-scale chamber test method. The sink strength can be affected by the chemical properties of VOCs, physical properties of materials, and environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and air velocity.
