The emission profiles of the two samples were measured in parallel after 24 h, 3, 7, and 9 days using a flow of air and nitrogen, respectively. Thereafter, both samples were exposed to air and the emission measured after another 14 days. It was shown that the carboxylic acid/aldehyde ratio was increased by air. The data were investigated by multivariate analysis. It showed a clear distinction between the nitrogen and the air samples. This led to the conclusion that emission from linoleum is influenced by air oxidation processes.
