Measurement of organic compound emission using small test chambers
AbstractOrganic compounds emitted from a variety of indoor materials have been measured using small (166 L) environmental test chambers. The paper discusses: a) factors to be considered in small chamber testing; b) parameters to be controlled; c) the types of results obtained. The following types of materials have been tested: adhesives, caulks, pressed wood products, floor waxes, paints, and solid insecticides. Selected data are presented. For each material, chamber concentrations of organic compounds have been determined for a range of environmental conditions (e.g., air exchange rate, temperature and relative humidity). Emission rates for individual organic compounds, as well as total measured organics, were calculated. The effects of environmental variables on emission rates have been evaluated. Models are used to evaluate the effect of chamber walls and concentration on emission rates.
