测量并表征了一种常用醇酸漆散发出的气味醛。初步配方分析表明，液体涂料中没有可测量的醛。然而，小型环境室试验表明，在固化（干燥）期间，每使用一克醇酸漆，就会排放超过2毫克的醛（主要是己醛）。醛的排放曲线与烷烃和芳烃等其他挥发性有机化合物的排放曲线非常不同。由于原始油漆中未发现可测量的醛，因此怀疑排放的醛是由醇酸树脂中不饱和脂肪酸酯的自氧化产生的。研究发现，假设自氧化过程由一个连续的一级反应控制，可以通过一个数学模型来模拟己醛的排放速率- 有序反应机理。该数学模型用于预测测试醇酸漆典型应用的室内空气己醛浓度。结果表明，乙醛排放可导致乘员长时间（数天）暴露在空气中。单元:SICitation:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1998年，第104卷，第2部分，多伦多

Odorous aldehyde emissions from a commonly used alkyd paint were measured and characterized. Initial formulation analysis indicated no measurable aldehydes in the liquid paint. However, small environmental chamber tests showed that, for each gram of the alkyd paint applied, more than 2 mg of aldehydes (mainly hexanal) were emitted during the curing (drying) period. The emission profiles of aldehydes were very different from those of other volatile organic compounds such as alkanes and aromatics. Since no measurable aldehydes were found in the original paint, it is suspected that the aldehydes emitted were produced by autoxidation of the unsaturated fatty acid esters in the alkyd resins. It was found that the hexanal emission rate can be simulated by a mathematical model assuming that the autoxidation process was controlled by a consecutive first-order reaction mechanism. The mathematical model was used to predict the indoor air hexanal concentrations for a typical application of the alkyd paint tested. The result indicated that the aldehyde emissions can result in prolonged (several days) exposure risk to occupants.Units: SI
