STUDIES OF CONSTRUCTION AND INTERIOR POLYMER-BASED MATERIALS IN AGGRAVATED MODELING CONDITIONS

Abstract

To determine the experimental aggravated conditions for modeling construction and interior design of polymeric materials making it possible to expedite their hygienic assessment and to identify indicator (priority) indoor air contaminants migrating from polymeric materials, the sanitary-chemical studies have been conducted. 54 samples of basic polymers were collected for research in a climate chamber of 0,12 m3. The experimental studies resulted in the determination of aggravated modeling conditions for polymer materials (temperature of 50 ± 2 °С, relative humidity 60 ± 5%), which made it possible to increase the level of indicator substance emission migrating from them, and to reduce the exposure time by 3 times, compared with the standard conditions. The list of tracer substances migrating from the polymeric materials, which depends on a type of the polymer matrix was also identified.
