Abstract

The Japanese government mandated a mechanical ventilation system for the purposes of solving sick houses and setting the guidelines for indoor hazardous chemical substances. However, as the use of new chemical substances and alternative substances has increased, pollution in the rooms has been a major concern. Therefore, the present study measured the emission rate of new contamination chemicals from building materials through the micro-chamber. As a result, the emission of 2EHA from the adhesive was confirmed. In addition, TXIB, TEXANOL, DINP, DEHP, DBP and other chemical substances were emitted from the building materials such as carpet, PVC flooring, water paint, and insulation.
