Where the evidence names it

New Paint

Reported volatile · the claim says “with significantly raised”

In dwellings painted during the previous year, total indoor volatile organic compounds were about 100 µg/m³ higher, with significantly raised C8–C11 aliphatic compounds, butanols and TXIB, and formaldehyde rose where wood details had been newly painted.

Scope: Air measured in 62 dwellings within an asthma study; it reports emissions from paint, not odour. CLM-PAINT-001 ↗

WHAT THIS MEANS

SmellBook lists a molecule only where a VERIFIED claim names it, in the role and scope that claim states. A molecule reported in a smell's evidence is not the whole smell: most smells come from many compounds together, and the studies measured particular samples, such as one cultivar, an essential oil or a cooked product.
