Abstract
Acceptability of clean air and air polluted by building materials
was studied in climate chambers with different levels of air
temperature and humidity in the ranges 18-28°C and 30-70%. The
immediate acceptability after entering a chamber and the
acceptability during a 20-minute whole-body exposure were assessed
by 36 untrained subjects. The results confirm the significant
decrement of air acceptability with increasing temperature and
humidity shown in a previous study with face exposures. No
significant difference was observed between the immediate
acceptability and the acceptability after a 20-minute exposure,
i.e. no adaptation took place. Both the immediate assessment of
acceptability and the assessments during the 20-minute exposure
were independent of the air temperature and humidity to which the
subjects were exposed before entering the chamber.
