A large percentage of the occupants in a 96,000 ft2 office building were suffering multiple adverse health symptoms continuing and/or reoccurring for over 4 years. The symptoms were believed to be the result of building related illness. Detailed indoor air quality and product emission studies realed the presence of formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds contamination primarily resulting from furniture constructed of pressed wood products (formaldehyde source) and a chemical deodorizer (volatile organic compound source).
Comparisons are made of two techniques for the trace analysis of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from consumer products: direct on-line sampling and analysis and on-line solid sorbent collection followed by off-line analysis. Two types of direct analyses are examined. The first consists of direct injection of emissions from a sample loaded environmental chamber into a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID) for compound identification. Direct injection of headspace collected emissions into a gas chromatograph equipped with a mass selective detector is the second direct method scrutinized. The more traditional technique of solid sorbent collection of the volatile organic emissions followed by thermal desorption (TD)/gas chromatographic (GC)/mass spectrometric (MS) analysis is compared to both direct on-line methods.
