Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the formaldehyde emission of building materials and effect of carbonized-board (c-board) on formaldehyde reduction using a chamber method. As a result, reduction performance of formaldehyde was in the order of c-board (90%), c-bamboo board (84%), diatomite-based panel (82%), allophane-based tile (78%), Pinus densiflora timber (58%), MDF (54%) and gypsum-based board (46%) for approximately 12 days. In $1.9m^3$ chamber filled with particleboard (PB), the formaldehyde reduction performance of c-board was significantly increased with increasing input amount of c-board for 68 days. In particular, the formaldehyde emissions can be reduced above 40% and 75% by input rate of 10% and 30% c-board, respectively, in given ratio of chamber volume and PB area.
