Emission and evaluation of chemical substances from selected electrical and electronic products - part 2

2 Emission tests

2.1 Selection of product types and products

2.1.1 Criteria for product selection

A number of products have been selected for emission testing in co-operation with the Danish Environmental Protection Agency.

The criteria for product selection have been e.g.:

  • Heat generation under normal operation
  • Usage pattern
  • Danish consumer usage
  • Whether the products are used by particularly exposed groups (children, elderly, etc.)
  • The potential heath risk from the emitted substances

A total of 11 product types have been selected for emission testing. The following section provides a detailed account for the single product type.

Within each product type one or more products have been purchased for emission testing.

The products were purchased in Danish retailing. Purchase has been aimed at products that constitute a dominant or significant part of the sales within the product type in question.

It is stressed that it is about spot tests selected randomly in Danish stores. The results are thus not representative for all apparatuses of the type in question in the Danish market.

2.1.2 Outline of tested products

The following product types are selected for emission testing based in the above-mentioned criteria.

Table 2.1. Outline of tested product types

Product type Description
Printer Inkjet colour printer; table model
Household oven Ceramic cooker with forced convection oven with catalytic purifying glaze
Hair drier 2000 W effect
Mobile phone Mobile phone with camera
Iron Steam iron, 2000 W
Decorative lamp Lamp with halogen light source, rotating colour change and separate disco globe
Computer (PC) PC with standard monitor and keyboard
Tv-set 28” 16:9 sized television
Electric-panel (multi-plug box) 5-plug box without earth connection
Power heating unit 500 W power heating unit for wall suspension
Rechargeable batteries 3 types of rechargeable batteries including charger, all types NiMH C 1,2 V

The test of the mobile phone has been performed partly with the phone separately partly with the phone and the charger placed in the test chamber.

Prior to the test of the rechargeable batteries three types of batteries with charger were purchased. The batteries' surface temperature during charging was measured in preparatory test. The battery with the highest surface temperature was applied at the continued emission tests.

2.2 Description of performed measurements

2.2.1 Sample scope

The table on the following page demonstrates an outline of the sample scope i.e. measurements contra products. The selection of the sample scope has been performed based on knowledge and experiences on potential emissions form the single products.

2.2.2 Sample preparation

The products are all tested under conditions that represent a normal utility model in any way possible. Products that consist of more parts (e.g. lamp with ancillary motor and transformer) are tested as they are used. Lamp, motor, and transformer are thus tested as one.

The emissions are documented partly shortly after commissioning (7 hours) and after a longer period of use (9 days). Before the first emission test the products have been simulated used for 24 hours. The product in question has been simulated used for 9 days in a relevant utility model between first and second emission test.

The table on the next page shows the simulated application situation that the apparatuses have been exposed to before, during, and in between the emission tests.

2.2.3 Description of applied chamber types

The product is placed in a climate controlled test chamber that is purged with a known amount of clean air. The air supply occurs from a central installation equipped with filtration for particles and gasses.

Stainless steel chamber were applied. Present survey used chambers of 0.11 m³, 0.25 m³, and 3.2 m³ respectively depending of the size of the product.

The test chambers are built and operated in accordance with ENV 13419-1. The emission tests are carried out according to identical procedures as are specified at accredited technical testing according to the conditions set forth in Eurofins Danmark's accreditation number 168 (DANAK).

Test conditions during the performed tests were as follows:

Temperature:    23 ± 2° C
Humidity: 50 ± 5% RH
Air change: 0.5 ± 0.05 times pr. hour.

Due to heat emission the tested products influenced the climatic conditions in the chambers in some cases resulting in higher temperatures. The highest temperature rise was observed when testing the household oven (Climate chamber temperature 38°C at the test stop).

2.2.4 Description of applied methods

Measurement for content of contaminations in the outlet air from the chambers was performed by collection of adsorbents or in collection fluids. A calibrated electronic flow meter types Sierra was used for determination of the collected air amounts.

Before each emission test the chambers' background content of relevant substances (blank values) was determined. If relevant the measurement result has been corrected for blind value before calculation of source strength from the instruments.

The single collection and analytical methods are stated below. Appendix I contain a detailed outline of the substances that are included of measurement for aldehydes, organic tin compounds, brominated flame retardants, and isocyanates.

Aldehydes in air

Principle: Aldehydes (C1-C6) collected on 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine coatet silicagel tubes, eluted with acetonitril. Analysis by HPLC/UV.

References:

ISO/DIS 16000-3
VDI 3862-3.

Limit of detection:   

0.1-0.5 µg

Volatile organic compounds (VOC/SVOC) in air

Principle: Volatile organic compounds collected on ATD-combi tubes with Tenax TA/Chromosorb 106. The components are desorbed thermally from the tubes and analysed at gas chromatography with mass specific detector (ATD/GC/MS). A number of components are quantified relative to toluene (toluene equivalents). These components are marked with a star (*) in the table of results.

References:

ISO/CD 16017-1
MHDS 72

Limit of detection:   

5 ng

Isocyanates and amines in air

Principle: Isocyanates/amines are collected in impinger bottles containing dibutylamine in toluene. Amines are derived accordingly with ethylchloroformiate. The derivates are analysed by use of high-performance liquid chromatography with mass selective detection (HPLC/MS).

The method identifies and quantifies diisocyanate, monoisocyanate, isocyanic acid, aminoisocyanates, and amines.

References:

Analyst, 121 (1996) p. 1101-1106.

Limit of detection:   

0.02 µg (butylisocyanate however 0.1 µg total).

Organic tin compounds

Principle: The substances are collected on XADII adsorbent by absorbing a known airflow through the adsorbents. The components are extracted from the adsorption material with 10% acetic acid in methanol. The extract is transferred to water phase and derived with sodium tetraethylborate. The derivates are extracted accordingly with pentane and analysed following evaporation at GC-MS. Tripropyltin is used as internal standard.

Limit of detection:   

0.02 µg

Brominated flame retardants

Principle: Polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDE), polybrominated biphenyles (PBB), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), and tetrabrombisphenol A (TBBPA) are collected on adsorption tubes containing XADII. The samples are soxhlet extracted with toluene, added 13C-labelled internal standards, and analysed at gas chormatography with mass selective detection in the laboratorlabelled internal standards, and analysed at gas chormatography with mass selective detection in the laboratory.

Limit of detection:   

0.2 – 5 ng

2.3 Results

The results of the performed emission measurements are given on the following pages. A number of the applied methods are screening methods that measure a very large amount of substances. For clarity only the substances that evaporate in amounts larger than 1 µg/unit/hour. This limit of detection corresponds to the limit of detection applied at survey no 32.

The substances' labelling according to the following lists is given in the tables of results:

  • The list of hazardous substances, Order no 439 of June 2002
  • The Danish Environmental Protection Agency's guidelines to self classification of hazardous substances, (2001)
  • List of unwanted substances, (2004)

Appendix I contain a complete list of the substances that the measurements for aldehydes, isocyanates, aminoisocyanates, amines, organic tin compounds, and brominated flame retardants have included.
