How long does alkyd paint off gas?

radley010 asked:
I painted my home office walls and ceiling with Benjamin Moore latex and the 6 bookcases in it with alkyd paint about 5 weeks ago. Within 3 days of painting (as soon as the paint was dry to the touch) I re-assembled the room, putting the bookcases against the freshly painted wall and books on the bookcases.

Within 3 days of painting (as soon as the paint was dry to the touch) I re-assembled the room, putting the bookcases against the freshly painted wall and books on the bookcases.
The problem is that 5 weeks later the room is still off gassing strongly even though I’m airing it out for several hours each day with open windows and a fan blowing the air outside.
I’m thinking now that because I re-assembled the room so fast it inhibited the off gassing by blocking the surfaces and that’s why the paint fumes are still so strong.
Does anyone have any ideas about how long the room will take to air out or what I could do to speed up the ventilation — or what’s happening?
Thanks!
