Editorial summary

This study examines how ventilation influences individual VOC emissions from a wood particleboard. Chamber experiments assess air exchange and air velocity, alongside parameters describing diffusion and partitioning between the material and air. Formaldehyde behaved differently from several other monitored compounds, illustrating why ventilation effects should be assessed for individual chemicals. The article cites FLEC research on airflow characteristics and formaldehyde emission measurements.
