Survey of Chemical Substances in Consumer Products no. 49, 2004

Emission of chemical substances from products made of exotic wood

Abstract
The purpose of this project is to analyse the emission of chemical compounds and to determine whether there are health risks connected with consumer products made of exotic wood when used in the home. The main stress has been laid on the emission of volatile chemical compounds to the indoor air and to a less extent to the constituents and compounds emitted from the products by migration into artificial saliva.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency will, when opportunity offers, publish reports and contributions relating to environmental research and development projects financed via the Danish EPA.

Please note that publication does not signify that the contents of the reports necessarily reflect the views of the Danish EPA.

The reports are, however, published because the Danish EPA finds that the studies represent a valuable contribution to the debate on environmental policy in Denmark.
