The emanation detected following the installation of fresh floor covering originates from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during the manufacturing process of the material and its adhesives. Understanding the source of this odor is the initial step in mitigating its presence within an enclosed environment.
Addressing this indoor air quality concern is essential for promoting a healthier living or working space. Minimizing exposure to these compounds contributes to respiratory comfort and overall well-being. Historically, advancements in manufacturing processes have aimed to reduce VOC emissions, reflecting a growing awareness of their impact.
