Abstract:

The central aim of this thesis is to support the efforts to counteract certain environmental problems caused by emissions of volatile organic compounds. The purpose of this work was (1) to develop a method to establish the amount of emitted substances from dryers, (2) to determine the effect of drying medium temperature and end moisture content of the processed material on emissions of monoterpenes and other hydrocarbons, (3) to examine the emissions of monoterpenes during production of pellets, and (4) to examine the natural emissions from forests with an eye to implications for modelling.

Abstract:

A variety of methods exist to remove volatile organic compound (VOC) air pollutants from contaminated gas streams. As regulatory and public opinion pressures increase, companies are searching for more effective methods to control these emissions. This document is intended as a guide to help determine if existing systems are adequate and to provide additional information to improve the efficiency of the systems. It explores conventional methods of controlling VOC emissions, as well as innovative technologies including membrane separation, plasma destruction, and ozone catalytic ox

Abstract:

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) constitute important classes of indoor contaminants. Emissions of VOCs and SVOCs from myriad building materials and consumer products cause high indoor concentrations with health risks that may be orders-of-magnitude greater than outdoors. The need to control VOC and SVOC emissions from interior materials and thereby reduce indoor concentrations is made more urgent by the prevailing drive for air-tight, energy efficient buildings. To develop low-emission products, emission rates are usually measured in emission chamb

Abstract:

The adverse effects of contaminated outdoor air have been recognized and subject to control for many years. More recently environmental engineers and health professionals have become cognizant of the hazards associated with contaminated indoor air. It is now understood that contaminated indoor air negatively impacts human health, worker productivity, and physical property. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a common class of indoor air pollutants. Building materials such as treated wood, pressed-wood products, wallboard, sealants, adhesives, floor coverings, and paints can be sources of

Building materials are a major source of indoor air contaminants. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are an important class of contaminants prevalent in indoor air. Attempts have been made to model the emission of VOCs from building materials. Diffusion has been shown to control the rate of mass transfer within certain types of building materials. The primary objective of this research is to develop a fundamental diffusion-based model for single and double layer building materials. The single-layer model considers a slab of material located on the floor of a chamber or room with the material ac

Around 500 of these compounds is believed to be due to emissions from different surrounding building materials such as insulation, plastic film, sealants and flooring.

Abstract:

Flüchtige organische Verbindungen (Volatile organic compounds (VOC)) sind ubiquitär vorkommende kohlenstoffhaltige Substanzen. Untersuchungen haben relevante VOC-Konzentrationen im Inneren von Gebäuden nachgewiesen. Da der Innenraum zum typischen Aufenthaltsort des modernen Menschen geworden ist, sind diese Schadstoffe in das Interesse der Forschung gerückt. Kinder reagieren unter Schadstoffexposition besonders sensibel, denn viele wichtige Organsysteme befinden sich noch in ihrer Entwicklung. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden Leipziger Daten der LISA-Studie („Einfluss von Lebensbedingungen un

Abstract:

This thesis reports the investigations of sheep wool’s ability to sorb volatile and very volatile organic compounds (v/VOCs). Indoor air quality and occupants health can be adversely affected by the presence of even low gaseous concentrations of v/VOCs. Sheep wool’s fibres, with their keratinous chemical functionalities, provide platforms for sorption of the said compounds. Wools from different breeds of sheep are studied with regards to the sorption of four volatile organic compounds in their gaseous state, which represents a wide range of polarity and basic chemical diversity: formaldehyde,
