| Description: |
At NIST's small chamber test facility, researchers are assessing the performance of a prototype reference material for testing emissions of VOCs from building products. Inside the chamber, the thin-film sample (measuring 6 centimeters on a side), which has been suffused with vapors of a common VOC, releases gas emissions at a rate similar to a real building material that can be independently determined using a fundamental model.
