The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between diffusive character of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2E1H) in flooring finish material and 2E1H emission rate from floor surface. The 2E1H emission flux in various flooring finish material is measured and an effective diffusion coefficient of 2E1H for the material is calculated from the emission flux. Some flooring finish materials are attached on top of subfloor materials with adhesive, and these 2E1H emission rates are measured. It is clarified that 2E1H emission rate from floor surface is high, when the effective diffusion coefficient of 2E1H for the flooring finish material is high.
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.
