Requirements/fulfilment

Environmental test equipment to characterize ...

Materials can be affected by envi-ronmental influences. However,under these influences, the mate-rials can be harmful to the environ-ment also, e.g. by emissions fromthe materials into the air.

These emissions are particularlyrelevant in closed rooms. They canaffect other available materials andof course also human beings.

The relevant factors and their effecton the emission behaviour of mate-rials in connection with suitablemeasuring methods can be usedto evaluate emission together withthe Vötsch chamber.

Analytical investigations, systemcalibration and olfactometric stu-dies are possible with suitablemeasuring equipment.

Volatile organic compounds (VOC)from indoor materials and productsare determined under practicalconditions.

Scientific measurement and pro-duct testing aimed to limit organicemissions indoors, for the purposeof improved consumer protection,can be evaluated.

Exposure to indoor air pollutioncaused by volatile organic com-pounds (VOC) must be furtherreduced resp. indoor air qualityimproved - for several reasons:

l An increased use of polymerhydrocarbon compounds inindoor materials and productsresults in a growing numberof emitting sources

l Energy saving insulation reducesthe ventilation rates in buildingswhich leads to an accumulationof pollutants indoors

l Reduction of the environmentalpollution of technical devices(greenhouse effect, ozone layerdepletion)

The technical requirements of theenvironmental test equipmentwere defined by specialists fromindustry and science and thensuccessfully put into practice:

l A test equipment with a low emission (purity in molecularrange)

l Excluding contaminations fromthe vicinity

l Particle measurementl Minimizing adsorption effectsl High desorption temperatures

( > 200 °C)

l High parameter accuracyl Ventilationl Tests with and without air

exchangel Standard analytical equipment

can be usedl Networking and documentation

possible

l Modern people spend about90 % of their time indoors

l Increased sensibility of the hu-man organism to the influenceof minute concentrations
