[Release of volatile organic compounds from textile floor coverings in higher temperatures].
The effect of temperatures 23 degrees C, 29 degrees C, and 50 degrees C on emission of 4-phenylcyclohexene (4-PC), styrene, total volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde from textile floor coverings with textile backing and styrene/butadiene latex precoat was examined. Tested coverings didn't show emission of styrene and formaldehyde. At 23 degrees C and 29 degrees C two tested coverings showed emission of 4-PC on low level. The higher emission was observed from all coverings at 50 degrees C. VOCs emission from coverings increased with increasing of temperature, especially at 50 degrees C. In conclusion some of new textile floor coverings can cause contamination of indoor air after application of sub-floor heating. Contamination, however, will decrease with time.
