Scientists may be no closer to explaining why the incidence of asthma has been escalating in the United States, but a new study confirms that a number of common indoor materials may be making the situation worse.
Outdoor materials should bear the same texture, similar unit size and overall color tone as indoor materials.
More evidence on the chemical effects of the most common types of fine particulate matter in typical indoor materials is needed to enable risk assessment for indoor collections.
Environmental chambers are widely used to test formaldehyde and other volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from indoor materials and furniture.
The accurate and rapid determination of the emission parameters of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) from indoor materials is of great importance for estimating and controlling indoor exposure.
After decorated into the surface of wood-based panels, it can be used as the indoor materials of wall, floor, and furniture.
In spite being at the end of this list, humidity is often seem as a key driver for damage to indoor materials in contrast to outdoor damage, where it is water as a liquid is so important.
Remarkable research results have been provided on the chemical effects of the most common types of fine particulate matter in typical indoor materials in museums and libraries [3, 4].
Five states have more aggressive safety thresholds than USEPA for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from indoor materials or consumer products.
