The source of new-carpet odour ↗

New carpets measured in a 20 m³ environmental chamber emitted a variety of volatile organic compounds; the two with styrene-butadiene rubber latex mainly released 4-phenylcyclohexene, identified as the source of the 'new carpet' odour, and styrene.

Four carpet types collected at manufacturers' mills (study published 1993); backings and adhesives change the emissions.
