Emissionen organischer Verbindungen aus Baumaterialien

Abstract

Recently, an internationally harmonized method for the characterization of emissions of organic compounds from building materials in test chambers has been developed and tested at the EMPA. Selected results from two projects indicate clearly, that the emissions not only depend on the building material but are also strongly influenced by the mode of application. It is shown that some emissions caused by wall paints are influenced by the structure and material of the wall on which they are applied. Emissions from glues depend very strongly on structure and thickness of the glued materials.
