Determination of VOC emissions from French wood products

Résumé

In order to improve indoor air quality (IAQ), it appears necessary to have analytical protocol for the measurement and health evaluation of building product emissions. In this context, the CTBA (French Wood Technical Centre) and the CSTB (French Building Technical Centre), set up and tested a methodology to characterise emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from wood building materials. This methodological tool called "Bench of Quality", aims at measuring VOC emissions from building products with laboratory emission test chamber method (European Standard prEN 13419 : 2002) and evaluating the resulting health impact. In all, 15 wood building products were tested : solid wood, wood based panels (particleboards, particleboards with melamine on top, unsanded and painted plywood), glulam, laminate flooring. Results showed that Standard prEN 13419 can readily be applied to solid wood products. A standardised methodology is now available for French wood manufacturers to determine IAQ performances of their products and to confront them with other building products.
