“…Some industrial processes have aldehydes as one of the raw materials and emissions may take place both in the manufacturing process and from use of the products. It has been reported that aldehyde emissions from building material are affecting indoor air quality [6][7][8][9][10]. Natural emissions of aldehydes from vegetation have also been characterized.…”

Rate coefficients for gas-phase reaction between nitrate radicals and the n-C 6 -C 10 aldehydes have been determined by a relative rate technique. All experiments were carried out at 297 ± 2 K, 1020 ± 10 mbar and using synthetic air or nitrogen as the bath gas. The experiments were made with a collapsible sampling bag as reaction chamber, employing solid-phase micro extraction for sampling and gas chromatography/flame ionization detection for analysis of the reaction mixtures. One limited set of experiments was carried out using a glass reactor and long-path FTIR spectroscopy. The results show good agreement between the different techniques and conditions employed as well as with previous studies (where available). With butanal as reference compound, the determined values (in units of 10 −14 cm 3 molecule −1 s −1 ) for each of the aldehydes were as follows: hexanal, 1.7 ± 0.1; heptanal, 2.1 ± 0.3; octanal, 1.5 ± 0.2; nonanal, 1.8 ± 0.2; and decanal, 2.2 ± 0.4. With propene as reference compound, the determined rate coefficients were as follows: heptanal, 1.9 ± 0.2; octanal, 2.0 ± 0.3; and nonanal, 2.2 ± 0.3. With 1-butene as reference compound, the rate coefficients for hexanal and heptanal were 1.6

“…One problem with linoleum is the unpleasant smell of lower quality grades. When the linoleum is in service, remnants of unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic acid break down into a series of extremely strong smelling saturated and unsaturated aliphatic aldehydes (C5 -C10) and into analog carboxylic acids [87,88]. Even cork based floorings are not pure natural products but contain formaldehyde, phenol, furfural and toluene [89,90].…”

The indoor environment is a multidisciplinary scientific field involving chemistry, physics, biology, health sciences, architecture, building sciences and civil engineering. The need for reliable assessment of human exposure to indoor pollutants is attracting increasing attention. This, however, requires a detailed understanding of the relevant compounds, their sources, physical and chemical properties, dynamics, reactions, their distribution among the gas phase, airborne particles and settled dust as well as the availability of modern measurement techniques. Building products, furnishings and other indoor materials often emit volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds. With respect to a healthy indoor environment, only low emitting products, which do not influence indoor air quality in a negative way, should be used in a building. Therefore, materials and products for indoor use need to be evaluated for their chemical emissions. This is routinely done in test cambers and cells. Many studies have shown that the types of sources in occupational and residential indoor environments, the spectrum of emitting compounds and the duration of emission cover a wide range. The demand for standardized test methods under laboratory conditions has resulted in several guidelines for determination of emission rates. Furthermore, it has now been recognized that both primary and secondary emissions may affect indoor air quality. The problem may become more dominant when components of different materials can react with each other or when catalytic materials are applied. Such products derived from indoor related reactions may have a negative impact on indoor air quality due to their low odor threshold, health related properties or the formation of ultrafine particles. Several factors can influence the emission characteristics and numerous investigations have shown that indoor chemistry is of particular importance for the indoor related characterization of building product emissions. This paper provides an overview of the current state of the art research on the mentioned topics.
