The aim of this study was to evaluate and establish of emission test method for liquid phase building materials such as paint, adhesive, sealant by emission cell. A small-scale emission chamber and emission cell were used to evaluate emission of TVOC from paint, adhesive, sealant. The quantity of TVOC emission were measured by a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Background concentration of TVOC was below $10{\mu}g/m^3$ in the emission chamber and cell. Air tightness and recovery in chamber and cell showed good results. The recovery of thermal desorber for toluene and n-dodecane were about 120%. The repeatability of response factor and retention time in GC/MS below 30%. The method detection limit of VOCs ranged 0.04~8.82 ng. The concentration of TVOC emission using emission cell was 1.35~1.41 times higher than emission chamber. The correlation of TVOC emission using chamber and cell method was significantly high (r=0.91~0.97).

This study investigated the emissions characteristics of air freshener using small emission chamber method. The emission of VOCs from air freshener were determined in the small chambers in the temperature (25, $30({\pm}1)^{\circ}C$), relative humidity ($50{\pm}5%$), ventilation rate (0.3, 0.5, ($0.8({\pm}0.005)/hr$), and sample loading factor ($1.4{\sim}551.0g/m^2$) in this study. The emission tests from air freshener for sample loading factor resulted in TVOC emission rates of $0.7{\sim}64.4mg/m^2{\cdot}h$ after 5 hours. For most target VOCs such as limonene, ${\alpha}$-pinene and linalool, higher temperature and ventilation rate levels exhibited increased emission rates.

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.

This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of a small chamber sampling and analytical method for the measurement of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and formaldehyde (HCHO) emission from building materials. While VOC was determined by the adsorbent tube sampling and sequential thermal desorption coupled with GC/MSD analysis, formaldehyde sampled with DNPH-silica cartridge was analyzed by HPLC. Wide-range performance criteria such as repeatability, desorption efficiency, emission chamber recovery test, duplicate precision, breakthrough volume and method detection limits were investigated for the evaluation of small chamber method. The overall precision of the small chamber sampling and analytical methods was estimated within 20~30% for target compounds. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the small chamber sampling and analytical method can be reliably applied for the measurement of building materials pollutants.

This study focused on the emission rate of the construction materials. The method of study is as follows. First, validation of small chamber method to determine emission rate of construction material was performed by CFD simulation. For the result of this study, uniform air velocity in small chamber was founded, and small chamber as a test material for emission rate was validated. Second, the construction materials were categorized by their feature and the emission rate of volatile organic compound was determined. Totally, VOCs emission rate of 49 materials were determined.

In order to predict the indoor air pollutant, the VOCs emission rate is used through small chamber in the design process. However, the small chamber method has limitations as the convective mass transfer coefficient, the most important factor when predicting VOCs contamination of indoor air, is different between the small chamber result and the measured data in the actual building. Furthermore, the existing studies which analyzed mass transfer coefficient in the small chamber were directed on the small chambers developed at the time and FLEC(Field and Laboratory Emission Cell), thus, are different from the current small chamber which has been changed with improvements. The purpose of this study is to determine the emission rate of pollutant in double-layered building materials through the CFD(Computational of Fluid Dynamics) and Numerical analysis based on the mass transfer coefficient on singled-layered building material by using the current small chamber widely used in Korea. Futhermore, this study used the new convective mass transfer coefficient($h_m'$) which indicates the existing convective mass transfer coefficient($h_m$) including VOC partition coefficient(k). Also, formaldehyde was selected as target pollutant.

잔류가스측정 질량분석기(RGA)는 진공챔버 내부의 진공상태 이상유무, 공정상태 확인 및 주입가스 농도제어 등 여러 종류의 작업에 응용되고 있다. 반도체용 박막 제조공정(PVD, CVD)에서 챔버 내의 수분 혹은 불순물 가스의 정확한 모니터링은 반도체 품질향상에 매우 중요하다. 1 Pascal 진공도의 증착용 챔버에 RGA를 직접 장착하여 작동시키기 위해서는 저진공용 RGA가 사용되어야 한다. 10-3 Pascal에서 6m 자유운동거리를 갖는 질소분자는 1 Pascal에서는 6 mm로 짧은 자유운동거리를 갖는다. 따라서 1 Pascal 저진공영역에서 이온을 생성시키고 mass filter를 사용하여 질량분석을 하기 위해서는 이온원과 mass filter 길이가 자유운동거리 수준으로 작아져야한다. 저 진공영역에서는 검출기와 전자방출용 필라멘트가 저진공에서 작동되도록 일반고진공용 RGA와는 완전히 다르게 소형으로 설계 제작되어야 한다. 10-7 Pascal 이상의 초고진공에서 사용되는 RGA는 이온원이 작동할 때 발생하는 outgassing을 낮추도록 설계가 되어야 초고진공의 유지가 가능하다. 한국표준과학연구원에서 현재 개발 중인 일반고진공용 RGA를 소개하고 저진공용과 초고진공용 RGA의 설계특성을 발표한다.
