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.

T1 - Environmental and Health Provisions for Building Products - Identification and evaluation of VOC emissions and odour exposure (Research Report 202 62 320 / UBA-FB 001002) N2 - 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.

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.
