Emission of Volatile Oganic Compounds from Wood and Wood-Based Materials

Appendix 8: Evaluation - Survey of Results

The results comprise the comfort and health evaluations of emissions from the 23 investigated wood and wood-based materials.

The evaluations comprise determination of:

	S-value based on Sci/LCi for stated effect type
	Indoor-relevant time-value based on odour and irritation thresholds

by material loads varying from 0,4 m²/m³; (corresponding to e.g. floor or table with 6 chairs) to 2.2 m²/m³; (corresponding to e.g. ceiling, floor and all 4 walls).

In the tables essential single substances are defined so that "other" substances in the emission do not exceed 10% of the S-value.

Reference is made to Appendix 6 regarding results and other data used as the basis of the calculation of S-values and indoor-relevant time-values, hereunder:

	Emission rate [Fg/m2·h] (from chamber testing).
	Calculated standard room concentration [Fg/m3;].
	Lowest concentration of interest in the indoor air, LCI [Fg/m3;].
	Odour- and irritation threshold values [Fg/m3;] for determination of the indoor-relevant time-value.
