Bake-out exhaust method was used to significantly accelerate the release of VOCs from building materials. This paper studies the bake-out technology with dilution ventilation for indoor air pollution by experimental works. The baking effectiveness of formaldehyde, benzene, toluene and xylene ranged from 3 to 7.6, 7.6 to 25, 5.1 to 17 and 6 to 22 for the six cases, respectively. Baking effectiveness would become higher at longer baking time and higher baking temperature for formaldehyde and VOCs released from decorative materials. However, considering the possible deformation of building materials, 40°C and 10 hr would be the best choice for a suitable bake-out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
