Abstract:		"In studying indoor air quality, the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from wood-based panels and products is considered a main influencing factor. VOCs with low concentrations, even below the detection limit, can also have negative effects. Herein, VOCs emitted from particleboards and laminated boards were collected and analysed by GC-MS, and key odorous VOCs were identified using the odor activity value. Compared with laminated boards, particleboards showed higher concentration of total volatile organic compound (TVOC). Halogenated compounds, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons were main contributors to total VOC emissions, which could relate to the addition of additives used during panel manufacturing. Eleven VOCs were identified that listed as hazardous air pollutants in the US Clean Air Act. Aldehydes were the major contributor to the OAV; most aldehydes have unpleasant odors, such as fatty acids, which contribute to the smell of surrounding air. Octanal was the dominant odorant in the aldehyde compounds"
