T1 - Biocide emissions from materials into indoor air N2 - The European biocides directive (98/8/EG) demand the control of emissions into the envi-ronment like soil, water and air. In this study a method for measuring the input of biocides into the indoor air from materials should be developed. The emission of two products containing biocides (plastic foil, wool carpet) and six different types of biocide containing formulations applied on wood or ceramic tiles were investigated in 20 or 23 l glass emission chambers. Each chamber test was performed over a period of 100 up to 200 days. SVOC show totally different emission curves in chamber tests compared to volatile organic com-pounds (VOC). They reach their maximum value after some days or weeks. Thus a period of 3 months is sometimes necessary for exact measurements. Area specific emission rates (SERa in µg/m²h) for permethrin (0.006), propiconazole (0.2), dichlofluanid (1.5), tolylfluanid (1.2), octylisothiazolinone (2.5) and for iodpropinylbutyl-carbamat (1.7) were determined.

T1 - VOC- and SVOC-Emissions from Adhesives, Floor Coverings and Complete Floor Structures N2 - VOC/SVOC-Emissions from materials for flooring installation (primer, screed, adhesive, floor covering) were measured by means of emission test chambers and cells over a time period of at least 28 days at 23 C, 50 % relative humidity and an area specific air flow rate of q = 1.25 m³/m²h. Single components were tested in comparison to three complete structures (same concrete, primer, screed, adhesive) with different types of floor covering (PVC, carpet, linoleum). Sorption into concrete/screed and different sealing by the flooring materials affected the emissions from the complete structures. The complete structures with linoleum and PVC showed the same emissions and emission rates as the flooring materials alone. Emissions from the carpet-covered structure resulted mainly from the lower layers. For two adhesives the formation of secondary emissions (aldehydes and organic acids) was observed starting after the standard testing time of 28 days.

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.

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.
