Features: The "Civil Building Engineering Indoor Environmental Pollution Control Specification" GB50325-2001, jointly compiled by the Ministry of Construction and departments such as Health, Environmental Protection, Chemical Industry, and Building Materials, proposes corresponding requirements for all stages of engineering survey, design, construction, and acceptance to fundamentally control indoor environmental pollution. In this specification, chemical pollution caused by coatings and adhesives is a key focus. To support the implementation of the specification, professionals have conducted extensive research on the determination of harmful substances in coatings and adhesives. This book connects these efforts and standards under the main theme of "Toxic Substances in Coatings and Adhesives and Monitoring Technology," enabling better understanding, mastery, and implementation of the "Civil Building Engineering Indoor Environmental Pollution Control Specification." The book primarily introduces the sources, hazards, control standards, and relevant testing techniques of free formaldehyde, heavy metals, aromatic hydrocarbons, toluene diisocyanate, and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in coatings and adhesives. It also provides a concise overview of acute toxicity and the Ames test method, along with related testing methods and standard methods.
