Abstract

Emission tests were carried out to investigate the characteristics of concentration according to flooring sort using small chamber method. The target Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) included 27 individual compounds of environmental concern, which were determined by adsorption sampling and thermal desorption coupled with GC/MS method and by DNPH cartridge/HPLC method. The emission factor of Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) and Formaldehyde (HCHO) was detected <TEX>$0.3mg/m^2{\cdot}h$</TEX> and <TEX>$0.2mg/m^2{\cdot}h$</TEX> respectively, and the floorings of 37 (9 PVC Tile, 10 PVC Sheet, 18 Flooring) were satisfied emission standard. TVOC emission factor appeared in order of concentration of PVC Sheet, PVC Tile, and floor flooring, while HCHO was detected very high emission factor (as <TEX>$0.4mg/m^2{\cdot}h$</TEX>) at floor flooring above PVC series (as <TEX>$0.001mg/m^2{\cdot}h$</TEX>).
