    <title language="eng">Development of a multi-VOC reference material for quality assurance in materials emission testing</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Emission test chamber measurement is necessary to proof building materials as sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The results of such measurements are used to evaluate materials and label them according to their potential to emit harmful substances, polluting indoor air. If only labelled materials were installed indoors, this would improve indoor air quality and prevent negative impacts on human health. Because of the complex testing procedure, reference materials for the quality assurance are mandatory. Currently, there is a lack of such materials because most building products show a broad variation of emissions even within one batch. A previous study indicates lacquers, mixed with volatile organic pollutants, as reproducible emission source for a wide range of substances. In the present study, the curing of the lacquer-VOC mixture inside micro-chambers was optimised. Therefore, the humidity and the chamber flow were varied. Typical indoor air pollutants with a wide range of volatilities, for example, styrene, n-hexadecane, dimethyl and dibutyl phthalate were selected. It turned out that, under optimised curing parameters inside the micro-chamber, their emission can be reproduced with variations of less than 10 %. With this, a next important step towards a reference material for emission testing was achieved.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Design of Reference Materials for Proficiency Tests for Measurements in Emission Test Chambers</title>
    <title language="deu">Entwicklung von Referenzmaterialien für Leistungstests bei Emissionskammermessungen</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Emission testing of products is currently a rapidly increasing field of measurement activity. Labelling procedures for construction products are based on such emission test chamber measurements and hence measurement performance should be verified. A suited procedure for this purpose is the testing of one unique homogenous material in different laboratories within a Round Robin Test (RRT). Therefore, it is useful to have a reference material which can be used within inter-laboratory studies or as part of the quality management system to ensure comparable results.&#13;
&#13;
Any commercially available product on the market can be used as reference material, provided it is thoroughly characterised. However, these materials often emit only a few and material specific VOCs and appropriate homogeneity is not given. Therefore, alternative materials should be found.&#13;
&#13;
Several approaches on the development of reproducibly emitting materials have been published. These have in common only to emit a single VOC – toluene. Two further research studies carried out by BAM aimed to develop reference material for emissions testing containing one or more VOC in a single material. The first approach was a doped lacquer with Volatile and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC/SVOC) and the second was Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) or a Squalane/Paraffin mixture. Currently, the second approach is not at a level that it could be tested within a RRT.&#13;
&#13;
Important requirements for the production of a reference material were repeatability (homogeneity), reproducibility, long-term stability in terms of compound release and transport stability. The emission rates should be high enough to obtain well measurable chamber air concentrations at standardised test conditions. &#13;
&#13;
The lacquer samples were prepared by weighing portions of a water-based lacquer to which defined amounts of the pure analytes were added. Defined amounts of the lacquer mixture were filled into Petri dishes and cured under standard conditions (23 °C and 50% relative humidity). Reproducible emissions were obtained when the storage time of the cured material was not longer than four weeks. The concentrations were analyzed 7 days after loading of the material into the chamber.&#13;
&#13;
Two RRT were conducted by use of the lacquer system. Here, the laboratories had to identify and also to quantify the compounds. The relative standard deviations obtained were typical for such a kind of test. More than 50 participants reported results.</abstract>
    <abstract language="deu">Die Untersuchung von Produkten auf deren Emissionseigenschaften ist ein aktuell wachsender Aufgabenbereich für Messinstitute. Label werden für Bauprodukte auf Basis von Emissionskammermessungen vergeben, weshalb die dabei eingesetzten Messmethoden überprüft werden sollten. Ein Ringversuch (RV), bei dem ein homogenes Material von verschiedenen Laboratorien parallel untersucht wird, ist ein geeignetes Verfahren dafür. Für einen solchen Ringversuch aber auch generell für die laborinterne Qualitätssicherung ist es sehr hilfreich ein Referenzmaterial zu haben, um gut vergleichbare Ergebnisse zu erhalten.&#13;
&#13;
Generell kann jedes kommerziell erhältliche Produkt als Referenzmaterial verwendet werden, wenn es gut charakterisiert ist. Allerdings emittieren die meisten Produkte nur wenige VOC und diese sind typischerweise sehr materialspezifisch. Die Homogenität der Materialien ist nicht immer gegeben, so ist es besser, nach alternativen Materialien zu suchen.&#13;
&#13;
Es sind schon einige Veröffentlichungen zu reproduzierbar emittierenden Materialien verfügbar. Diese enthalten bislang zumeist nur ein einzelnes VOC – Toluol. Im Rahmen von zwei Forschungsvorhaben arbeitet die BAM an der Entwicklung von Referenzmaterialien für Emissionskammer-Untersuchungen, die einzelne VOC oder VOC-Mischungen emittieren. Der erste Ansatz war die Dotierung eines kommerziellen Lackes mit einer VOC/SVOC-Mischung, weitere Untersuchungen werden mit Thermo¬plastischem Polyurethan (TPU) sowie einer Squalan/Paraffin-Mischung durchgeführt. Da mit dem zweiten Ansatz noch Tests laufen, ist damit noch kein RV durchgeführt worden.&#13;
&#13;
Wichtige Anforderungen an ein Referenzmaterial sind die Wiederholbarkeit (Homogenität), Reprodu-zierbarkeit und Langzeitstabilität in Bezug auf die VOC-Abgabe und die Transportstabilität. Die Emissionsraten sollten hoch genug sein, um gut messbare Kammerluft-Konzentrationen bei Standardbedingungen zu erhalten.&#13;
&#13;
In einen wasserbasierten Lack wurde eine VOC/SVOC-Mischung zugegeben und nach der Durchmischung wurden davon einzelne Portionen in Petrischalen abgefüllt. Diese Schalen wurden unter Standardbedingungen (23 °C und 50% relative Luftfeuchtigkeit) getrocknet. Reproduzierbare Emissionen wurden erhalten, wenn die Lagerzeit ca. vier Wochen nicht überschritten wurde. Die Konzentrationen wurden sieben Tage nach der Beladung der Kammer bestimmt.&#13;
&#13;
Zwei RV wurden mit einem wie oben beschriebenen Lacksystem durchgeführt. Es nahmen ca. 50 Labore teil, diese mussten die Zielsubstanzen sowohl identifizieren als auch quantifizieren. Die gefundenen Mittelwerte und Standardabweichungen lagen jeweils im zu erwartenden Bereich für solch einen RV.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Reproducibly emitting reference materials for volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds—using finite element modeling for emission predictions</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Recent research into emissions of (semi-)volatile organic compounds [(S)VOC] from solid materials has focused on the development of suitable reference materials for quality assurance/quality control of emission test chamber measurements, which fulfill requirements such as homogenous and reproducible (S)VOC release. The approach of this study was to find a method for preparation of a material with predictable (S)VOC emission rates. AVOC (styrene) and an SVOC (2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene, DIPN), loaded into either vacuum grease or a 1:1 mixture of paraffin/squalane, have been tested. For the prediction of the emission rates, a model using the finite element method (FEM) was created to simulate the (S)VOC emission profiles. Theoretical and experimental results obtained in a Micro-Chamber/Thermal Extractor (μ-CTE™) and in 24 L emission test chamber measurements were in good agreement. Further properties were investigated concerning the material applicability, such as shelf life and inter-laboratory comparability. The maximum relative standard deviation in the inter-laboratory study was found to be 20%.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Environmental and Health Provisions for Building Products - Identification and evaluation of VOC emissions and odour exposure (Research Report 202 62 320 / UBA-FB 001002)</title>
    <abstract language="eng">In this study 50 construction products were tested in emission test chambers according to the requirements of the AgBB-scheme: 7 acrylic and 6 silicone sealants, 6 paste-like synthetic resin plasters, 13 wood based products, 4 adhesives, 5 lacquers, 6 wall paints and 3 further construction products. VOC and odour emissions were tested on the 1st, 3rd, 10th, and 28th day. In addition to the VOC-measurements, a test procedure was developed to evaluate odour emission of construction products.This test is planned to be implemented into the AgBB-Scheme. A direct evaluation by a sensory panel in the emission test chamber was not possible. So the odour samples were collected in 300- litre tedlar bags which were evaluated later. Odour intensity of the samples was compared with different acetone concentrations. Within this study an interlaboratory comparison was conducted using the newly developed odour test method. Additionally, VVOC emissions, detection of carcinogenic compounds, repeatability of emission test chamber tests, and other issues are presented. This project has shown that construction products can be evaluated in accordance with the AgBB scheme. A sensory evaluation is intended to be introduced in the AgBB scheme. A method for this evaluation is described in this study. The test procedure should be enhanced and validated for practical utilisation.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Inter-laboratory study to check the performance ot test chamber measurements for product emission testing</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The labelling of construction products or building materials as “low-emitting” is based on measurements using third-party emission test chambers. Unfortunately there is no method to validate the performance of such test chamber measurements. This might give a Variation of results when testing one material at different laboratories. Therefore it is necessary to hold round robin tests as part of the quality management System to ensure comparable results.&#13;
A research project financed by the Federal Environmental Agency focused on the development of an external quality management System for the detection of relevant Chemical compounds from products and in ambient air. The project was structured in four phases (Horn et al., 2009 and 2011; Wilke et al., 2009a) This paper shows results of the fourth phase of the project, which was an inter-laboratory study for VOC-emission testing by means of emission test chambers.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Sensory-based evaluation of building product emissions - Integration into the Blue Angel award criteria and assessment scheme of the Committee for Health Evaluation of Building Products (UBA-FB 001500 / Förder-Kennz. 370762300)</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Emissions from building products can considerably impair the quality of indoor air. The AgBB scheme is employed to evaluate the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from building products. The hygienic evaluation according to the AgBB scheme requires product-specific measuring procedures.&#13;
These are available for a range of products. They have been validated in co-operation with several research and testing institutes and have been included in the criteria for awarding the Blue Angel ecolabel.&#13;
The evaluation is, however, stricter and generally has lower limits. VOC emissions and odours can cause health problems so testing using sensors is an important element in the evaluation of building products and has – for reasons of precaution – been set down in the AgBB scheme. The main goal of the project was to derive a method of evaluation using sensors and limits for awarding the Blue Angel and for the AgBB scheme. Based on the research conducted (see Chapter 5 Results and Discussion), perceived intensity and hedonics were suggested as a suitable Evaluation method. The derivation of limits for the evaluation using sensors on the 28th day was effected in the present study through the additional questioning of the test subjects on the reasonability of a sample.&#13;
For the Blue Angel, there could be different limits of perceived intensity and hedonics for each group of products. A preliminary suggestion for possible limits – for all product groups – is a perceived intensity of 7 pi (5 pi + 2 pi as confidence coefficient, Chapter 5.1.5) and -1 (0+/-0.8, rounded to -1) for the hedonic value.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Different possibilities for the statistical evaluation of round robin tests for volatile organic compounds in emission test chambers</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Emission testing of products is currently a rapidly increasing field of activity. The amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOC) which emit from products in emission test Chambers are used to evaluate these products. Typically labelling procedures for construction products are based on emission test chamber measurements. This performance should be verified. Possibly this can be performed due to testing of one material at different laboratories within a round robin test. Therefore it is necessary that a reference material exists which can be used for such round robin tests or as part of the quality management System to ensure comparable results. The different Statistical evaluation possibilities of a round robin test with a constant reference material for VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in emission test Chambers are the main focus of the presented paper.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Suitability of small environmental chambers to test the emission of biocides from treated materials into the air</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Biocides are used to protect materials that might be damaged by fungal, microbial or insect activity. The aim of this study is to develop a method for the measurement of these organic compounds, which generally have low or moderate vapor pressures. The biocides considered in this study are permethrin, dichlofluanid, tolylfluanid, iodpropinylbutylcarbamat, octylisothiazolinone, tebuconazole and propiconazole. The emission from two commercial products (plastic foil, wool carpet) containing biocides and of seven types of biocidal formulations applied to wood or clay tiles were investigated in 20-l glass emission test chambers. Each chamber test was performed over a period of 100200 days, and one investigation was conducted over several years. Compared to volatile organic compounds, low-volatility compounds show totally different emission curves in chamber tests; maximal emission values may be reached in days or weeks. A period of 3 months is sometimes necessary for the determination of area-specific emission rates (SERa's). The SERa's (?g m-2 h-1) from biocide-containing products were determined for permethrin (0.006), propiconazole (0.3), dichlofluanid (2.0), tolylfluanid (1.0), octylisothiazolinone (2.5) and iodpropinylbutylcarbamat (2). In most cases, the SERa stayed at its maximum value or declined slowly over the test period. Additionally, a chamber test begun in 1994 with a piece of wood treated with a typical mixture of biocides dissolved in a technical solvent was continued. SERa's (?g m-2 h-1) for dichlofluanid (0.20), tebuconazole (0.49) and permethrin (0.08) remained detectable after the period of nearly 9 years during which the sample remained continuously in the chamber. This test proved the very slow decrease of emission of low-volatility compounds like permethrin and tebuconazole.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Odour testing of building products: Examinations for an on-going development of the test standard ISO 16000-28</title>
    <abstract language="eng">VOC-emissions and their odours from building products and furnishings present indoors should not have an impact on personal well-being or health. Odours can be measured by applying the standard ISO 16000-28. Indoor air determination of odour emissions from building products using test chambers. One of the described procedures is the assessment of perceived intensity using a comparative scale by a group of panellists. In this paper, the perceived intensity sampling procedure and its evaluation method are investigated and shown to need improvement. New technical developments in the methodology used to increase the reproducibility of measurement results are discussed. Since odour tests are used for labelling, they have a major influence on the assessment of construction products, similar to the procedure of the German Committee for Health Evaluation of Building Products (AgBB). In the original ISO standard, the evaluation is typically performed using a sampling container separated from the emission chamber. For a better sample presentation, an adapter was developed to connect the emission test chamber to the evaluation funnel and thus enable an odour assessment which is comparable to a direct measurement. The investigations show that losses of odourous substances can be greatly reduced, which is very desirable when seeking to obtain reliable results in odour measurement. Another experimental series was carried out to reduce the measurement effort in the evaluation of perceived intensity. Application of the developed greater than or less than/equal to. query could be helpful here. The results show that the query mostly leads to the same result as the evaluation of the perceived intensity using the method according to the standard but is much easier to perform. Overall, the results can contribute to improving the acceptance of the evaluation of perceived intensity using ISO 16000-28 and to determining odours from building materials increasingly more precisely.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Investigations for the improvement of the measurement of volatile organic compounds from floor coverings within the health-related evaluation of construction products</title>
    <abstract language="deu">In den Grundsätzen des DIBt zur gesundheitlichen Bewertung von Bauprodukten in Innenräumen ist das Bewertungsschema des Ausschusses zur gesundheitlichen Bewertung von Bauprodukten (AgBB-Schema) als wesentliche Grundlage enthalten.&#13;
Dieses Schema bewertet die mit Hilfe einer Prüfkammermessung bestimmten Emissionen von flüchtigen und schwer flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (VOC und SVOC). Die Prüfkammer dient dabei der Einhaltung standardisierter Klimabedingungen (Temperatur 23°C, relative Luftfeuchtigkeit 50 %) sowie der Einstellung bestimmter Prüfparameter wie Luftwechselrate und Beladungsfaktor. Die Anforderungen an eine Prüfkammer sind in DIN EN ISO 16000-9 beschrieben. Die Analytik und Quantifizierung der VOC geschieht mittels Tenax-Thermodesorption und nachfolgender Gaschromatographie gekoppelt mit Massenspektrometrie und ist in DIN ISO 16000-6 beschrieben.&#13;
Probenahmen werden am 3. und 28. Tag der Prüfkammermessung durchgeführt. Am dritten Tag erfolgt eine Bewertung der Emissionen aus dem Bauprodukt anhand des TVOC-Wertes und der Summe der detektierten cancerogenen Stoffe (nach 67/548/EWG, Einstufung als cancerogen der Kategorie 1 und 2). Ein Produkt erfüllt die Kriterien, wenn der TVOC-Wert nach 3 Tagen nicht größer als 10 mg/m³ ist und die Summe der Cancerogene 10 μg/m³ nicht übersteigt. Am 28. Tag wird zusätzlich zum TVOC-Wert und den Cancerogenen die Emission von SVOCs berücksichtigt und eine Einzelstoffbewertung anhand von NIK-Werten vorgenommen. Der TVOC-Wert nach 28 Tagen darf nicht größer als 1 mg/m³ sein, die Summe der Cancerogenen nicht größer als 1 μg/m³. Die Summe an SVOCs darf eine Konzentration von 0,1 mg/m³ nicht überschreiten. Der sogenannte R-Wert, die Summe aller Quotienten aus Einzelstoffkonzentration und dem NIK-Wert des Einzelstoffes, darf einen Wert von 1 nicht übersteigen. Außerdem darf die Summe von Substanzen, die keinen NIK-Wert besitzen, nicht größer als 0,1 mg/m³ sein.&#13;
Der Ringversuch, der im Rahmen der Untersuchungen zur Verbesserung der Prüfkammermessungen durchgeführt wurde, hatte vor allem den Zweck, den Einfluss unterschiedlicher Methodenparameter bei der Prüfkammermessung in unterschiedlichen Prüflaboratorien zu erfassen. Anhand der Ergebnisse sollte eine Ursachenforschung für die großen Abweichungen der bisher durchgeführten Ringversuche erfolgen. Durch die drei aufeinander aufbauenden Schritte sollte der Einfluss der Analytik, der Probenahme und der Prüfkammer geklärt werden.&#13;
Der Ringversuch diente nicht der Anerkennung der teilnehmenden Prüflaboratorien im Bereich der Bauproduktenprüfung für eine DIBt-Zulassung.&#13;
Ausgehend von den Prüflaboratorien, die in der Projektgruppe „Prüf- und Messverfahren zur gesundheitlichen Bewertung von Bauprodukten“ des DIBt mitarbeiteten, wurde der Kreis auf europäische Prüflaboratorien erweitert, die sich ebenfalls mit Prüfkammermessungen an Bauprodukten beschäftigen. Dazu erging ein Einladungsschreiben an alle von vorangegangenen Ringversuchen bekannten Teilnehmer. Insgesamt ergab sich ein Teilnehmerkreis von 29 Instituten, davon 16 aus Deutschland, jeweils zwei aus Österreich, Belgien, Schweden, Dänemark und jeweils eins aus Finnland, Großbritannien, Frankreich, Italien und Portugal. Vor Beginn des Ringversuches waren davon 11 im Zulassungsbereich tätig.&#13;
Zur wissenschaftlichen Begleitung wurde durch das DIBt ein Betreuergremium einberufen. In zwei Sitzungen (April und November 2007) wurden die aktuellen Ergebnisse vorgestellt und diskutiert sowie die weitere Vorgehensweise besprochen. Eine Abschlussveranstaltung nach der Auswertung des dritten Schrittes des Ringversuches fand im April 2008 im DIBt statt. Dazu waren alle Teilnehmer eingeladen.&#13;
Für die Emissionsmessung von flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (VOC) aus Materialien mit Hilfe von Emissionsprüfkammern sind bisher nur wenige Ringversuche durchgeführt worden (De Bortoli et al. 1999; Jann et al. 2000; Hansen et al. 2000; Oppl and Winkels 2002; Windhövel and Oppl 2005; Kirchner 2007; Oppl 2008). Dabei zeigten sich meist große Streuungen der Ergebnisse.&#13;
Ein großes Problem für die Durchführung solcher Ringversuche ist das Fehlen von Referenzmaterialien mit bekannter Emissionsrate von Zielsubstanzen. Deshalb orientiert man sich für die Auswertung solcher Ringversuche am Mittelwert aller Ergebnisse. Dafür ist die Homogenität des Testmaterials von größter Bedeutung. Diese wurde in früheren Ringversuchen nicht wirklich sichergestellt.&#13;
Im hier beschriebenen Forschungsprojekt wurde auf die Homogenität des Probenmaterials besonderen Wert gelegt.&#13;
Der gesamte Ringversuch wurde in drei Schritte unterteilt. Die einzelnen Schritte wurden dabei von Schritt zu Schritt immer komplexer. Im ersten Schritt erfolgte die Analyse von flüssigen Lösungen, im zweiten die Bestimmung von VOCs in Prüfkammerluft und im dritten Schritt erfolgte eine komplette Emissionsprüfkammermessung bei den Teilnehmern.</abstract>
    <abstract language="eng">In the German Institute for Construction Technology’s (DIBt) principles for the health assessment for construction products used in interiors, the Evaluation procedure of the Committee for Health-related Evaluation of Building Products (AgBB Scheme) is contained as a substantial base. This scheme evaluates the emissions of volatile and semivolatile organic compounds (VOC and SVOC), determined by test chamber measurements. Within the interlaboratory comparison, which was divided into three steps, the emission test method from building products was checked against the principles of health-related evaluation of construction products in indoor spaces (based on DIN EN ISO 16000-9 together with DIN ISO 16000-6) with the co-operation of 29 European test institutes. The objective was to assess the comparability of the test method carried out in different test Chambers and using different thermodesorption devices.&#13;
In the first step the analysis of liquid solutions took place to observe the influence of the analysis itself. In the second step VOCs were sampled in the air of a BAM test chamber onto tubes from the participants for the Analysis by them. In the third step a complete Emission test chamber measurement was carried out by the participants.&#13;
A major problem for the execution of such interlaboratory comparisons is the lack of reference materials. Therefore the homogeneity of the test material was of great importance.&#13;
As a result of the first step (analysis of 4 liquid solutions) a standard deviation of less than 20 % for 8 out of 11 substances tested was obtained. The Standard deviations for dichloropropanol, caprolactam and Butyl diglycol ranged up to 36 %. The second step, which included air sampling at a BAM test chamber, resulted in only one standard deviation value less than 20 % (11 % for styrene). The standard deviations for the other six substances were between 20 % and 36 %. For step 3 a sealant was chosen instead of the flooring material for homogeneity reasons. In step 3 the standard deviations for 4 of the 7 measured VOC concentrations from two chamber tests were between 17 % and 19 % and thus within the same range as in Step 1 and even better than for most substances in Step 2. A Standard deviation of 60 % was found for the key component ethanediol, but this can be explained with the difficult analysis method for this substance.&#13;
A second objective of the project was to formulate criteria against which the specialist competence of the test institutes for emission tests can be checked and based on the principles for the health assessment for construction products used in interior. For this purpose a catalogue of criteria has been developed, which is divided into three parts. In the first part, basic requirements are formulated such as impartiality, accreditation for test chamber measurements, verification of experience by participation in earlier interlaboratory comparisons and the laboratory equipment. The second part requires the test-specific proof in the form of successful participation in interlaboratory comparisons organised by BAM biannually. The third part instructs the laboratories that they must ensure they are always upto-date both in terms of their knowledge and the available equipment. The quality assurance for the knowledge is ensured by regular participation in the exchanging of experience between the test laboratories. In terms of technical requirements the test institutes must be willing to successfully participate in at least one interlaboratory comparison per year.&#13;
The present interlaboratory comparison was not designed to recognise the participating test laboratories in the field of the construction product testing for a DIBt approval.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Development of a Test Method for and Investigation into Limiting the Emissions from Printers and Copiers within the Framework of Assigning the Environmental Label (Research Report 201 95 311/02 / UBA-FB 00,510E)</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Kurzfassung An neun verschiedenen Hardcopygeräten wurden in unterschiedlichen Emissionsmesskammern (zwei verschiedene 1 m³ - Kammern und eine 20 m³ - Kammer) in Kombination mit geeigneten Probenahme- und Analysenverfahren Untersuchungen zum Emissionsverhalten dieser Geräte hinsichtlich Staub, Ozon und VOC (TVOC) durchgeführt. Luftprobenahme und Analytik erfolgten für VOC mittels Tenax TA und anschließender Thermodesorption (TDS) in Verbindung mit GC / MS. Ozon wurde kontinuierlich bestimmt. Der Ozonanalysator arbeitete auf der Grundlage der flammenlosen Reaktion von Ozon mit Ethylen nach dem Prinzip der Chemilumineszenz. Die Staubbestimmung erfolgte gravimetrisch mittels Glasfaserfilter und Ultramikrowaage. Zusätzlich wurde die Partikelemission während des Druckbetriebes mit einem Partikelzähler bestimmt. Aufgrund der technischen Rahmenbedingungen standen nur kurze Druckzeiten von maximal 36 Minuten zur Verfügung. Um die Gleichgewichtskonzentration in der Prüfkammer zu erreichen, wurde die Luftaustauschrate in den 1 m³ - Kammern auf n = 4,0 bis 4,7 pro Stunde erhöht. Zusätzlich zur Prüfung in den Emissionsmesskammern sind verschiedene Papiere mittels Direkt - TDS sowie unter- schiedliche Toner mittels Headspaceprobenahme in Kombination mit GC / MS hinsichtlich ihres Emissionsverhaltens untersucht worden.
Für die untersuchten Geräte wurden Emissionsraten ermittelt. Sie betrugen für TVOC 0,41 bis 22,4 mg pro Stück und Stunde, für Ozon kleiner 0,02 bis 4,6 mg pro Stück und Stunde sowie für Staub 0,10 bis 7,63 mg pro Stück und Stunde. Verglichen mit Frischfaserpapier wurden bei den Untersuchungen mit Recyclingpapier deutlich höhere SVOC - Konzentrationen nachgewiesen. Im Ergebnis der Untersuchungen wurde ein Prüfverfahren entwickelt, das die Basis für Emissionsmessungen im Rahmen der Umweltzeichen RAL UZ 62, RAL UZ 85 sowie des neuen RAL UZ 114 für Multifunktionsgeräte darstellt. Abstract The emission behaviour with regard to dust, ozone and VOC (TVOC) of nine different hardcopy devices in combination with suitable air sampling and analysis procedures was investigated in different emission test chambers (two different 1 m³ - chambers and one 20 m³ - chamber). Air sampling and analysis for VOC were done by means of Tenax TA and subsequent thermal desorption (TDS) in connection with GC / MS. Ozone was determined continuously. The ozone analyser worked on the basis of the flame rid reaction of ozone with ethylene according to the principle of chemiluminescence. The dust determination was done gravimetrically by means of glass fibre filter and an ultra micro - balance. Additional the particle emission during the printing process was measured with a particle counter. The general technical conditions of the tested hardcopy devices were the reason for short printing times with a maximum of 36 minutes. In order to achieve the equilibrium concentration in the test chambers the air exchange rate in the 1 m³ - test chambers had to be increased to a value of n = 4,0 to 4,7 per hour. Additional to the examination of the hardcopy devices in the emission test chambers different papers were investi- gated by means of direct - TDS and different toners were tested by means of head space sampling in combination with GC / MS. For the examined hardcopy devices emission rates were determined. The emission rates for TVOC ranged from 0,41 to 22,4 mg per piece and hour, for ozone from less than 0,02 to 4,6 mg per piece and hour and for dust from 0,10 to 7,63 mg per piece and hour. The comparison between recycling paper and paper produced from primary fibres showed in general higher SVOC emissions from recycling paper. As the result of the investigations a test method for the determination of emissions from hardcopy devices was developed. This test method is the basis for emission tests in the framework of the German Award of the Environmental Label for office devices RAL -UZ 62, RAL -UZ 85 and the new RAL -UZ 114 for multifunctional devices.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Investigations on the emissions of biocides and PCBs under low volume conditions</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The aim of this study was the development of a low volume air sampling strategy for biocides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) at low air change rates in modern, air-tight showcases as they are present in museums. Lindane, pentachlorophenol, dichlofluanid, tolyfluanid, isodrin, p,p-dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane and permethrin were the biocides and PCB 28 and PCB 153 were the PCBs studied, all of which are semi volatile organic compounds (SVOC). Their occurrences in the museum environment originate from various sources e.g. preventive treatment of organic exhibits or organic building materials. Exhibits are long-term exposed to these pollutants due to storing in showcases or other storage equipment at low air change rates. To achieve air sampling under the aforementioned conditions the influences of temperature, air circulation, air change rate and relative humidity on the emission behavior of the selected biocides and PCBs had to be determined. This was carried out with pre-soaked wood samples in low volume air sampling experiments using 27 L test showcases and 23 L and 24 L emission test chambers and also diffusive sampling with glass as the sampling material.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Volatile organic compounds from building products - Results from six round robin tests with emission test chambers conducted between 2008 and 2018</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Emission testing of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from materials and products is commonly based on emission test chamber measurements. To ensure the comparability of results from different testing laboratories, their measurement performance must be verified. For this purpose, Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) organizes an international proficiency test (round robin test, RRT) every two years using well-characterized test materials (one sealant, one furniture board, and four times a lacquer) with defined VOC emissions. The materials fulfilled the requirements of homogeneity, reproducibility, and stability. Altogether, 36 VOCs were included of which 33 gave test chamber air concentrations between 13 and 83 µg/m3. This is the typical concentration range to be expected and to be quantified when performing chamber tests. Three compounds had higher concentrations between 326 and 1105 µg/m3. In this paper, the relative standard deviations (RSD) of BAM round robin tests since 2008 are compared and the improvement of the comparability of the emission chamber testing is shown by the decrease of the mean RSD down to 28 % in 2018. In contrast, the first large European interlaboratory comparison in 1999 showed a mean RSD of 51 %.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Towards a multi-VOC emission reference material with temporally constant emission profile for QA/QC of materials emission testing procedures</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Emission reference materials (ERMs) are sought after to further control and improve indoor air quality. The impregnation of porous materials with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a promising approach to produce ERMs. Different VOCs were used to impregnate various porous materials (mainly zeolites, activated carbons and a metal organic framework). The influence of different methodological parameters and material properties were studied to optimize the impregnation procedure and to find the best material/VOC combination. The impregnation procedure remains quite irreproducible, nevertheless, very good ERM candidates were identified. Two materials (zeolite 4 and AC 1 impregnated with n-hexadecane) showed a very stable emission over 14 days (&lt;10 % change). Another material (AC 1 impregnated with toluene) showed a declining emission profile but with a very good in-batch reproducibility and a storage stability of up to 12 months.</abstract>
