Im Januar 2018 wurde die DIN EN 16516 „Bauprodukte: Bewertung der Freisetzung gefährlicher Stoffe – Bestimmung von Emissionen in die Innenraumluft“ als harmonisierte europäische Prüfnorm veröffentlicht. Für die Etablierung der DIN EN 16516 als neue Referenznorm wurden verschiedene Emissionsprüfungen mit dem Ziel durchgeführt, ein neues Prüfverfahren für Formaldehydemissionen aus Holzwerkstoffen zu erarbeiten. Das übergeordnete Ziel ist die Minimierung des Risikos von Überschreitungen des Innenraumrichtwertes für Formaldehyd. Die Untersuchungen ergaben teilweise hohe Formaldehydemissionen, insbesondere bei höheren Beladungsfaktoren und Temperaturen, sowie bei niedrigen Luftwechselraten. Eine getestete Spanplatte hätte aufgrund ihrer hohen Formaldehydemission nicht auf den deutschen Markt gebracht werden dürfen. Durch vergleichende Untersuchungen konnte ein Umrechnungsfaktor in Höhe von 2,0 für die Umrechnung von Prüfwerten nach DIN EN 717-1 zu DIN EN 16516 abgeleitet werden.
The chemical emissions from products are tested by means of emission test chambers under defined conditions (climate, loading, air change rate). The standard method for the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOC) is the sampling onto Tenax-tubes followed by thermal desorption (TDS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The EU-LCI list includes some very volatile organic compounds (VVOC) and some VOC for which there are limitations when using the standard method. For VVOC additional sampling is required using stronger absorbers like Carbotrap or multi-bed adsorption tubes. The analysis of VVOC also requires a different GC oven program and a different column for the separation. For the determination of formaldehyde and other low boiling aldehydes (e.g. acetaldehyde, acetone, propanal, propenal) DNPH-cartridges are used which are extracted with acetonitrile followed by liquid chromatography (HPLC-UV) analysis. The derivatisation of propenal and other unsaturated aldehydes (e.g. 2-butenal) with DNPH might lead to lower findings due to incomplete derivatization and forming of by-products. For a better quantification of acetic acid the use of ion chromatography (IC) is recommended because the analysis of acetic acid with the standard method (TDS) leads to lower findings due to break through during sampling. The use of ion chromatography for the analysis of organic acids requires a third sampling technique. The acids are adsorbed onto silica-gel and extracted with water.
Die von der BAM eingekauften Holzwerkstoffplatten (Verlegespanplatten, OSB, Multiplexplatten) verschiedener Hersteller zeigten teilweise hohe Formaldehyd-emissionen unter den Prüfbedingungen nach EN 16516, eine Spanplatte hielt den Grenzwert von 0,1 ppm selbst bei Prüfung nach DIN EN 717-1 nicht ein, dürfte also in Deutschland gar nicht in den Verkauf gelangen.
Holzwerkstoffe, die unter den Prüfbedingungen der DIN EN 717-1 die Formaldehydklasse E1 einhalten, können insbesondere bei großflächigem Einsatz im Innenraum zu Überschreitungen des Richtwertes für die Innenraumluft führen. Zusätzlich zur Anpassung des Luftwechsels ist auch der Parameter Beladung bei einer Überarbeitung der Norm anzupassen. In der DIN EN 16516 werden produktspezifische (am Einsatz der Produkte orientierte) Beladungsfaktoren vorgegeben. Für den Einsatz von Holzwerkstoffplatten ergäben sich Beladungen von 0,4 (Boden oder Decke), 1,0 (Wände), 1,4 (Wände plus Boden oder Decke) und 1,8 m²/m³ (Wände, Boden und Decke). Um die realen Bedingungen in modernen Gebäuden abzubilden, ist deshalb eine Beladung von 1,8 m²/m³ für die Prüfkammermessung erforderlich. Hierbei ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass für die Beladung im Referenzraum Möbel nicht berücksichtigt wurden.
Damit soll sichergestellt werden, dass die Einhaltung des Schutzniveaus bei realen Innenraumbedingungen auch unter den Randbedingungen eines niedrigen Luftwechsels sowie bei sommerlichen Bedingungen und heutigem Lüftungsverhalten der Menschen soweit wie möglich gewährleistet ist.
The church of Koszewko (Poland) is a brick building edified in the 15th century built on cobblestone foundations. There are five windows in the sanctuary. Three of them enclose heraldic panels from the Küssow’s family from the 15th century which are surrounded with Goethe glass from the 18th century to complete the windows. The colored heraldic panels are strongly damaged and corroded with massive paint layer losses, glass- and leadbreakages. Those medieval glass fragments have been shortly discovered and are of particular interest for Poland since only few medieval glazing have been conserved.
The damages as well as the glass compositions have been investigated with ESEM/EDX. Two categories of medieval glass compositions have been identified. The blue glass is particularly sensible to corrosion because of his high content in K2O. The colorless and the red glass samples belong to a stable glass type. Due to the thickness of the gel layer, it is easy to see that the degradation is strongly proceeded. The protection of those medieval stained-glass panels is absolute necessary.
The medieval panels have been restored and surrounded from a copper frame. Then they have been fixed on the wood frame in the church. The exterior glazing has been closed with a panel of Goethe glass. The gap between the Goethe- and the medieval glass is about 3 cm. The Goethe glass panel has been stabilized with a film based on polyester to protect the medieval glasses against any damages. In this way, a low cost protective glazing has been installed for a long-term conservation of each medieval stained-glass panels. The climate measurements over the period of one year on the restored windows are in process. The temperature and the relative humidity are recorded in the church interior, in the gap between the original and the Goethe glass and outdoors.
Today glass is broadly used in modern architecture. For indoor applications it is possible to produce decorated glass by using enamel colours and glass painting techniques without any problems. However, this is more limited for applications out of doors. Humidity and environmental pollution attack the surface of the coating and can damage it. There are only a few colours on the market which are resistant towards acids and bases until now. Additionally, most of those colours are opaque. To extend the colour palette, chemically resistant low melting coloured glasses are being developed which are transparent and intensively toned even in thin coating thicknesses. To achieve such an ambitious aim, many parameters have to combine and act in a complex manner. New compositions of lead borosilicate, zinc borosilicate and lead-zinc borosilicate glasses were produced and milled as powder. The thermal properties as well as the environmental stability were analysed. The influence of PbO and ZnO on the thermal properties and the environmental stability were investigated. Evaluation of the fusing results shows that the production and mixture of transparent vitreous enamels for the exterior side of glasses is possible. The tests made it clear that the original materials for making the vitreous enamels must be excellently ground and prepared to achieve a satisfactory result. The method to produce durable vitreous enamels for exterior application also seems to allow the production of glass colours.
Measurements of aerosol particles are vital for enforcing EU air quality regulations to protect human health, and for research on climate change effects. Although metrics such as PM10 and PM2.5 are currently in use, the level of uncertainty of aerosol metrics is too high and the traceability is insufficient. The project AEROMET, which has been started in June 2017 aims at implementing improvements in a) the uncertainty of particle mass, size and number concentration measurements and b) in the characterization of regulated components in airborne particles. Both are demanded by existing networks within the EU as well as by global atmospheric research.
On-site measurement campaigns
One of the objects is the application of mobile x-ray spectroscopy techniques combined with aerosol sampling techniques for quantifying particle compositions in the field for real time analysis. During two in-field measurement campaigns in Budapest, Hungary in May 2018 and Cassino, Italy in September 2018 the size dependent mass concentrations of specific elements in ambient aerosols were monitored under dynamic conditions.
Typically, airborne particles are sampled on filter substrates. During this project new sampling methods with specially designed substrate holders for an in-situ TXRF analysis were developed and applied for the first time. This approach allows a direct time and size resolved analysis without laborious digestion steps and a reduced risk of contamination.
Aerosol particles were sampled in a 13-stage DLPI impactor - size range from 0,03 µm to 10 µm - which was equipped with special adapters for acrylic discs of 30 mm diameter, serving as substrates. TXRF analysis was performed on site with the transportable spectrometer S2 PICOFOX (Bruker Nano GmbH) equipped with a Mo X-ray tube and a 30 mm² Silicon Drift Detector (SDD). Excitation conditions were 50 kV, 600 µA, measurement time 1000 s. Quantification was based on internal standardization using 50 ng of Y in solution, which was pipetted into the centre of the discs prior to sampling.
At moderate air pollution levels, i.e. PM10 ~ 20 µg/m³, sampling times of less than 2 hours were enough for the detection of elements in different particle size bins. The in-situ approach and the high sensitivity of TXRF enables the observation of rather quick changes in the quantity and distribution of elements in an ambient aerosol on the day of sampling, as the below example from the Cassino field campaign on 11 Sept. 2018 shows: The analysis of the morning and afternoon sampling shifts reveals the occurrence of the elements Fe, Ca and Si in different size bins as well as their significant temporal change in respective mass concentrations over the day while the distributions of several other elements in the aerosol remain unchanged.
The validation of these results by backup measurements is planned.
A mobile Bruker S2 Picofox TXRF spectrometer has been used in two field campaigns within the EMPIR env07 AEROMET project for the on-site analysis of cascade impactor aerosol samples.The results show that even at moderate air pollution levels – i.e.PM10 fairly below 20 μg/m³ - element mass concentrations in air in the range of 100 pg/m³could be measured in up to 13 size bins after sampling times of less than only 0.5 days.
