amazing paper on indoor wood product emissions and indoor emissions:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/223707259_Emissions_of_total_volatile_organic_compounds_from_pressed_wood_products_in_an_environmental_chamber
some main points:
- mean indoor TVOC concentrations
- established residence: 1130 ug/m3
- new building: 4000 ug/m3
- refurbished building: 19565 ug/m3 after 1520 hrs and 11 ug/m3 after 2250 hrs
I find it very interesting, that right after refurbishment the TVOCs are the worst, assuming between the upheaval of old materials / temp exposures during construction e.t.c. and new materials it wrecks havoc, but then surprisingly settles to levels lower than original.
and TVOCs from wood products are in general 18-408 ug/m3, which is much less than from other materials used.
very interesting to see particle board maximum emissions actually spike at 21hrs in the chamber rather than start at a maximum and decline. i wonder why? settling of some time to the environmental conditions (heat / humidity / tension)?
