The formaldehyde emission behavior of a variety of particleboards and hardwood plywoods has been measured using six test methods: a Dynamic test which measures steady state air concentrations of formaldehyde under controlled ventilation rate and board loading, two Desiccator tests, a Paper Sorption test, the Equilibrium Jar test, and the Perforator test. Data from all six methods correlate approximately with one another but, as expected, large deviations occur. The Dynamic procedure is regarded as a primary board characterization test since it models actual use conditions; it is probably too complex for rapid screening purposes, however. For that purpose a Desiccator test is considered to be the most satisfactory of the methods examined.
