Building Materials as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Sources in Indoor Air: An Overview
Building materials can significantly impact on indoor air quality (IAQ). Modern people spend most of their time in indoors air. Long exposure to these pollutants may potentially increase the health risks of human. This paper reviewed available information about building materials as VOCs sources in indoor air, including the source of VOCs, impact on indoor air quality (IAQ), emission characteristics and other related issues. The major objectives of this review are to provide people with comprehensible information about VOCs source and emission from building materials. More people should realize the urgent problems concerning human health from building materials. Control of VOCs emission, such as removing pollution sources or improving ventilation requirements and development of indoor environmentally friendly building materials, such as low-emitting materials, even zero-emission should increasingly become an important consideration for people.
