CHARACTERIZATION OF VOC EMISSIONS FROM INTERIOR MATERIALS OF RAILROAD PASSENGER CABIN AND PREPARATION OF ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY INTERIOR MATERIAL

The indoor air quality of railroad passenger cabin is often polluted by various pollutants. The pollutantssources of the passenger cabin are the passengers with their belongings, the inflowing outdoor air, andthe interior materials like floorings, seats, paints, and adhesives. In this study, we focused on thepollutants emissions from the interior materials, and carried out the characterization of emitted volatileorganic compound (VOC) in an environmental chamber. We could find out that a large amount ofvarious VOCs emitted from the surface of interior materials.
