摘要：Formaldehyde is an important indoor air pollutant. It is released
mainly from building materials and consumer products. This contaminant
has been recognized as having negative effect on humans. Recently, there
are developed methods of reducing its emission as well as removal from
indoor air. An example of the last approach is the functionalisation of
interior wall paints. The influence of such paint on indoor air was
preliminarily examined in this work. The obtained results show that, during
intermittent exposures, responses of formaldehyde measurement device
were lower in the room painted with functionalised paint compared with
the room painted using traditional formula paint. This outcome was
statistically significant in 67% of the examined cases at the significance
level =0.01. It was found that the serious problem associated with
determining the influence of functionalised paint on indoor air, in real
conditions, is the low level of formaldehyde concentrations, compared with
the detection limit and accuracy of the available measurement devices.
