Thermal Desorption Technology for Testing Chemical Emissions from Construction Products and Consumer Goods

High-profile international regulatory developments and increased consumer awareness of hazardous chemicals in everyday products are driving global demand for improved assessment and labelling of products with respect to their intentional or unintentional release of chemicals. This application note describes the various features of thermal desorption (and Markes’ technology in particular) that make it suitable for testing emissions of potentially hazardous chemicals from construction products and consumer goods.
