Measurements of VOC emissions from materials suggest that the VOC emission rate can increase significantly under increased temperature, thus global warming and heat waves in summer may lead to higher indoor VOC source emissions in the years to come…..

In summary, the influence of climate change on IAQ remains largely unknown and the evolution of many influencing factors is unpredictable, such as the technological development in the formulation and manufacturing of building materials or the evolution of building codes and building stocks.
