| Abstract | The goal of this study was to develop a passive flux sampler (PFS) that can be used to measure formaldehyde emission rates from existing surfaces on-site using a commercially available DNPH cartridge. The performance of PFS was compared with the conventional 50-L chamber test. The formaldehyde emission rates from PFS were in good agreement with those from the chamber tests, involving 10 composite wood materials. The performance of PFS was further validated in a newly-built research house, where PFS was deployed onto 6 interior surfaces. The predicted formaldehyde concentrations based on the measured emission factors with PFS showed good agreement with the measured concentrations (17 – 22 % difference). The results show that a PFS with a commercial DNPH cartridge can be a useful tool to measure formaldehyde emission rates on-site passively for 4 – 7 days. |
