Assessment of Formaldehyde and TVOC Pollution from Laminate Burning in Buildings

Building fires cause a lot of damage. In the presented work, an experimental study was made of 7 saw laminates, which were subjected to 5 different burning temperatures - 150, 250, 400, 550 and 700<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</sup>C. Each of the samples was kept in the oven for 5 minutes after reaching the set temperature and the formaldehyde concentration was measured three times. An analysis of the obtained results was made and recommendations were given to the interested parties. The aim is to investigate what amount of harmful substances are released when fires occur in buildings
