Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from various sources may adversely affect human health,comfort and performance. In particular, formaldehyde has been identified as a major indoor pollutantwhose emission is controlled by workstation systems. Engineered wood products such asparticleboards have widely been used with wood veneer and laminate to form work surfaces ofworkstation systems, which is a major formaldehyde emission component. The emission rate offormaldehyde depends on the composition of each material layer, temperature and moisture content inthe materials.
