Carpet & IAQ
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a major concern with today's energy-efficient sealed buildings. Typically all manufactured materials and products emit gases from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) for a period of time. These may have a distinct odour and are therefore perceived as dangerous.
There are a great number of VOC's and different materials emit different mixes and concentrations of VOC. The distinctive smell of the interior of a new car for instance is the result of VOC emissions, and is perceived as desirable to many people. All too soon the distinctive smell diminishes and disappears as the VOC's are released into the atmosphere.
The smell of the carpet is result of VOC emission, usually from back-coating material and it will too diminish and disappear in time depending upon the level of ventilation in the room.
Carpet is the lowest VOC emitter of consumer flooring choices according to EPA, USA and other leading European research organizations.
