title: [Chemical and physical reactions during the drying process of paints and their impact on indoor air quality].
abstract: Taking six different cases of paint application indoors (three "do-it-yourself" workers and three professional painters), the maximum solvent concentration to be expected in the indoor air is calculated. The results of gas chromatographic determinations of the emission of solvents from paints and lacquers and of old lacquer layers are used to show that the paints offered today to a wide extent fulfill the requirements of a protection of the environment and do not represent a danger to the user and the inhabitant of a room provided that one is ready to follow the instructions and security advices. The importance of a sufficient air exchange rate is stressed.
