Performance test of formaldehyde and toluene sorption for functional building materials in Korea

Abstracts
According to a recent government study, development and distribution of functional building materials are increasing in Korea.
In this study, we evaluated reduction performance of formaldehyde and toluene by sorptive building materials using small-scale chamber(20L) test method for 7 days.
According to the results of this study, 18 building materials showed that the effects of formaldehyde reduction among the 23 building materials. And the number of the building materials with respect to its ability to reduce the concentration of toluene was relatively small.
The mean sorption rate and total amount of sorption for formaldehyde were 36.8% and 1,525.4/, respectively. The sorption rate and total amount of sorption for formaldehyde were in the range 1.578.4% and 87.53,086.0/, respectively.
And the mean sorption rate and total amount of sorption for toluene were 11.6% and 1,054.4/, respectively. The sorption rate and total amount of sorption of toluene were in the range 0.162.4% and 29.66,764.0/, respectively.
In most cases, the performance of the building materials with respect to its ability to reduce the concentration of pollutants has steadily decreased within 7 days.
