A method for the fast routine analysis of the total content of volatile organic compounds in wallcoverings and paper products was developed, using headspace gas-chromatography for quantification. 57 wallcoverings of different types were investigated. Typical components were toluene, methyl-ethyl ketone, methyl-iso-butyl ketone, n-butyl acetate and iso-butyl acetate, all compounds being used as industrial solvents. The TVOC concentrations are calculated in toluene-carbon equivalents and ranged from 0.31 ug/g to 1789 ug/g with an average value of 123.22 ug/g and a median of 20.37 ug/g. To obtain an estimation of VOC-concentrations in indoor air, 10 selected wallcoverings were also analyzed in a 1 cbm climate test chamber. A correlation between headspace data and chamber concentrations could not be observed, which might be a result of increased analytical uncertainties at low emission rates under chamber conditions.
