Possible Health Implications from Exposure to Formaldehyde Emitted from Laminate Flooring Samples Tested by the Consumer Product Safety Commission

Sumin Kim , Hyun - Joong Kim and Suck - Joong Moon Analyser Evaluation of VOC Emissions from Building Finishing Materials Using a Small Chamber and VOC

A test chamber method was developed to provide a small and simple emission testing facility capable of testing construction products over a range of climatic parameters, such as temperature, ventilation rate and air velocity, that could be varied independently around typical indoor values. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), specifically the aromatic hydrocarbons fraction, were measured using a ...
