Abstract

In this study 29 PVC floor coverings were tested for emission of vinyl chloride (VC) and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A study on the effect of higher temperature on emission of VOCs from newly manufactured PVC flooring was also carried out. The study was conducted in climatic chamber, according to Polish Standard PN-89/Z-04021. GC method was used for analyzing of the compounds emitted. VC was not emitted from any of the floorings tested. Other VOCs were emitted in different concentrations. The influence of temperature on emission was conducted at temperatures of 23 degrees C and 35 degrees C from 2 hrs up to 180 days after introduction of materials in the chamber. The increase of temperature caused increase of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) emission during 24 hrs of experiment. Then the emission was comparable for both temperatures. After 9 days emission of identified and unidentified compounds (TVOC) showed a rapid decay and stayed on very low level during a few months. The study conducted showed that PVC floorings after 10 days of installation in the room should not be source of indoor air contamination.

PVC地板覆盖物挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)的排放。

在这项研究中，测试了29种PVC地板覆盖物的氯乙烯(VC)和其他挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)的排放。研究了高温对新生产的PVC地板挥发性有机化合物排放的影响。根据波兰标准PN-89/Z-04021，在气候室中进行研究。采用气相色谱法对所排放的化合物进行了分析。所有测试的地板都没有释放出VC。其他挥发性有机化合物的排放浓度也不同。在将材料引入腔室后的2小时至180天内，温度对发射的影响分别在23℃和35℃的温度下进行。温度升高导致实验24 h内总挥发性有机化合物(TVOC)排放量增加。然后，两种温度下的排放量是可比较的。9天后，已识别和未识别化合物(TVOC)的排放量迅速衰减，并在几个月内保持在很低的水平。研究表明，PVC地板在室内安装10天后不应成为室内空气污染源。
