Abstract
The impact of emitted volatile organic compounds (VOC) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) from indoor building materials and furniture cannot be ignored. This study firstly establishes a unified analytical model to describe the emissions of VOC/SVOC from materials, which is helpful for the achievement of general characterization of source/sink behaviors and the integrated control of pollutants. A hybrid optimization method is used to measure the three key parameters in the model, including the initial emittable concentration (C0), diffusion coefficient (Dm), material/air partition coefficient (Km), and surface/air partition coefficient (Ks). Data of VOC emissions from a solid wood furniture and SVOC emissions a flame retardant in literature are used to verify the validity of the model and method. Moreover, the impact of long-term SVOC emission on the gas-phase concentration along the material surface (y0) at different temperatures is analyzed. Results indicate that, with the increase of temperature or emission time, it is more appropriate to use C0 as a key emission parameter, rather than the widely used y0 in prior studies.
