Field ‐to‐laboratory analysis of clay wall coatings as passive removal materials for ozone in buildings

In this study, the potential for passive reduction of indoor ozone by two different clay‐based interior surface coatings was explored. These coatings were exposed to occupied residential indoor environments and tested bimonthly in environmental chambers for quantification of ozone reaction probabilities and reaction product emission rates over a 6‐month period. Results indicate that clay‐based coatings may be effective as passive removal materials, with relatively low by‐product emission rates that decay rapidly within 2 months.
