The latest version of the German AgBB evaluation scheme (2015) for construction products includes some VVOC, e.g. formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acetone. For these VVOC so-called LCI values (lowest concentration of interest) were derived which are used for the calculation of the so-called R-value (risk index, see reference 1 for the calculation). Test chamber measurements of particle boards show that the emissions of VVOC might have significant impact on the R-value and therefore for the health evaluation.

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are ubiquitous in the indoor air, since they emit from materials used indoors. Investigations of these materials are mostly carried out in test chambers under controlled climatic conditions. Quality control of these test chamber measurements is important but there is a lack of commercially available homogenous reference materials. The approach of this study is to dope a supporting material with VOCs, which are then reproducibly released in measurable chamber air concentrations between 30 to 300 µg m ³. From several tested supporting materials vacuum grease (APIEZON M) was selected because of its very low own emissions. First tests were conducted with styrene. For the estimation of the initial emission and the emission over time FEM (finite element methods) modelling was used. Based on this, five samples with a surface of 7 cm2 and a thickness of 12 mm with a content of 1 ‰ styrene were investigated at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % relative humidity in the µ-chamber (3 samples) and 24 L test chambers (2 samples) for 28 days. Air samples were taken after 24 hours, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days on Tenax TA® sorption tubes and analyzed by TD-GC-MS. The area specific emission rate (SERa) was calculated to compare the results from both chamber types. After 24 hours SERa was between 0.8 0.9 µg cm 2 h 1 (3800 4000 µg m 3) for the µ-chamber samples and between 0.9 1.1 µg cm 2 h 1 (300-370 µg m 3) for the 24 L test chamber samples. After 28 days the SERa was at 0.2 µg cm 2 h 1 for all samples. The relative standard deviation of the SERa was between 1 26 %. These results show the applicability of vacuum grease as supporting material and the favored starting concentration range could be achieved in the 24 L test chambers.
