Emissions from wood based materials and indoor air

Emissions of VOC's from wood and wood based materials has been extensively investigated by Larsen et al. (1999), and an increase in emissions from building materials with an increase in indoor humidity has been shown recently by Fang et al. (1999) and Wolkoff (1998). Nevertheless, there is a need for additional work in this field and a recently started research project at Lund University intends to investigate these effects (Harderup, 1999).
