M. Risholmsundman et al., EMISSIONS OF ACETIC-ACID AND OTHER VOLATILE ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES OF SOLID WOOD, Holz als Roh- und Werkstoff, 56(2), 1998, pp. 125-129
The emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from wood and wood pr
oducts are important in evaluating the impact on the indoor environmen
t from different materials. The results from analyses of emissions fro
m nine different wood species are presented in this article. The measu
rements were made with Field and Laboratory Emission Cell (FLEC) and w
ith Head-Space (HS) analyses and the results from the different method
s are discussed. The main emissions are terpenes from softwood and ace
tic acid from hardwood.
