The emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) of materials for wrapping, transportation and storage of stained glass windows were investigated by direct thermal desorption. The analysis was performed with thermal desorption in combination with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Emissions of organic acids were determined. The damage risk of volatile organic compounds, e.g. organic acids as acetic acid, propanoic acid, hexanoic acid and octanoic acid was investigated on model glasses in climate chambers. After exposure the surface of the most sensitive samples was damaged.
Based on emission measurements in exhibit cases of the former museum "Grünes Gewölbe in the Albertinum" in Dresden, Germany, the atmospheric conditions inside the show cases were determined. It can be shown that the atmospheric conditions inside the cases endanger the glass and enamel objects of art especially in show cases with low air exchange rates. Materials with high emission rates of organic acids should not be in direct contact with medieval glass for a long time and should not be used in exhibit cases. Acid emissions, especially acetic acid plays an important role during investigation of different materials for show cases and can be determined by direct thermal desorption.
Wood and wood products are often used as construction material for buildings and even more for furniture and indoor decoration. Therefore Chemical emissions from wood have an influence on the indoor air quality. A research project financed by the Federal Environmental Agency focused on VOC emissions from oriented Strand boards (OSB) and also from plywood made from pine and spruce (Wilke et al., 2011a). This paper shows results of the plywood testing because only little information is available about plywood emission behaviour and its impact on indoor air quality.
11 laser printers from 5 manufacturers were purchased in 2017 and tested for their UFP emissions. Size resolved sampling of the emitted particles was done with a 13 stage (30 nm to 10 µm) low pressure cascade impactor. The sampled particles were analysed for their chemical composition by thermal extraction (vaporization at 290°C) followed by GC-MS analysis. High boiling cyclic siloxanes (D10 to D16) were detected as constituents of UFP from laser printers. In comparison to measurements in 2008, aliphatic long-chain alkanes (C22 to C34) were detected additionally as chemical constituents of UFP from most of the tested printers and their amounts were higher than for cyclic siloxanes. Printers of one manufacturer showed very low UPF emissions compared to the other manufacturers.
