摘要：

The rate of emission of organic compounds from building materials varies according to: type of material, material loading (area of material/volume of room), compound emitted, temperature, humidity, and ventilation rate. For some compounds and materials (e.g., formaldehyde from particleboard), the relationship between emission rate and these variables is well established. For most materials and compounds, however, such relationships are unavailable. Research, using small test chambers, is being conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop data on emission rates from a variety of building materials. This paper presents selected results from the EPA studies. Emphasis is placed on the effect of ventilation (air changes/h) and material loading on the emission rate for selected organics and total measured organics. Test data for three wood finishing materials (i.e., stain, polyurethane, and wax) are presented. The data are analyzed to show the effect of ventilation on the emission characteristics of each material.
