purchased textiles, and compared the emissions of formaldehyde
recorded via the standard acetylacetone method
and the proposed the screening method. We also determined
the temperature dependence of emissions between
10 C and 40 C, and derived an expression to convert the
change in absorbance registered at the sensor into the
mass concentration of formaldehyde contained in the
textile.
This approach provides a simple and reliable method
for on-site screening of the formaldehyde content in
textiles.
