Effects of environmental conditions on VOC sorption by building materials. 1. Experimental results.

Author(s) : ZHANG J., ZHANG J. S., CHEN Q.

Summary

Three typical kinds of building materials (painted drywall, ceiling tile, and carpet) were tested to study the effects of environmental conditions (temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity) on the sorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by building materials. The effect of relative humidity was generally small on the sorption of most compounds on ceiling tile and carpet. However, the increase of temperature and air velocity may affect the amount of VOCs adsorbed by the ceiling tiles and carpet.
