Abstract The sorption of sulphur dioxide by PVC wallcoverings and conventional wallpaper samples has been measured at a maximum sulphur dioxide concentration of 150 μg/m 3 by use of 35 SO 2 . The sorption was found to be influenced by the surface finish and design pattern of the wallpapers. Sweat deposits on the samples also influenced the pattern of uptake. The conventional wallpapers showed a greater uptake than did PVC wallcoverings in all cases.
