Abstract

The indoor air quality research activities are focused on indoor architecture, indoor materials and indoor technologies. The main subject of the last period interest is the indoor air quality and the materials emissions. Indoor surfaces mostly emit the compounds, which have great impact on human beings. The impact of individual material surfaces and their interaction effect on the indoor air quality will be discussed within this paper. The materials combinations regarding to their emissions are reviewed to indoor air quality criteria. Research also points to indoor material combinations, which should not be used indoors. Therefore, the question of materials and surfaces selection plays an important role. Several office interior surfaces emissions are compared in this study. The comparison has been performed by chemical analysis and sensory tests using the test chamber. Methodology of material comparison is based on the volume of total volatile organic compounds in the air. The impact of individual materials and their interaction effects on the indoor air quality will be dealt within the paper.
