T1 - Determination of radon exhalation from construction materials using VOC emission test chambers N2 - The inhalation of 222Rn (radon) decay products is one of the most important reasons for lung cancer after smoking. Stony building materials are an important source of indoor radon. This article describes the determination of the exhalation rate of stony construction materials by the use of commercially available measuring devices in combination with VOC emission test chambers. Five materials – two types of clay brick, clinker brick, light-weight concrete brick, and honeycomb brick – generally used for wall constructions were used for the experiments. Their contribution to real room concentrations was estimated by applying room model parameters given in ISO 16000-9, RP 112, and AgBB. This knowledge can be relevant, if for instance indoor radon concentration is limited by law. The test set-up used here is well suited for application in test laboratories dealing with VOC emission testing.

The determination is done by the use of emission test chambers (ISO 16000-9) in combination with appropriate sampling and analysis methods. Although the emission test chamber method is established since about 20 years it is still not validated. However, during the last 5 years some roundrobin tests (Wilke et al., 2009) showed good comparability for the testing in different laboratories using different test parameters. Nevertheless it was about time to Start a validation process.

Since then the emission of VOC from consumer and construction products got more and more attention. In 2001 the AgBB-scheme (AgBB: Committee for health-related evaluation of building products, 2010) was developed in Germany for a health-related evaluation of building products. The AgBB-scheme has been implemented to all “Blue Angels” but RAL-UZ 38. Therefore it was about time to include the AgBB-scheme also for this environmental label.
