An extensive literature review of research on the impact of indoor air conditions; temperature, relative humidity and surface air velocity on materials emission rates is presented. This paper also presents the results of an experimental work to study the impact of room air temperature and relative humidity on materials emission rates. The results indicate that both the temperature and relative humidity have a significant effect on the emissions from paint and varnish. In the case of varnish, the results were consistent with earlier results. However, the paint results show inconsistent emission behaviour. Further, for both materials, the individual compounds did not necessarily follow the same trend established for the TVOC.
