Environmental Material and Product Properties

Health and environmental issues relating to materials and consumer products have gained significant importance and public attention, leading to new scientific investigations and technological developments.

Emissions of hazardous substances from materials and products effect both the natural environment and human health and safety. Activities of this division concentrate on the identification and analysis of such pollutants and their emission levels from materials. This also involves the development of specialised testing methods for:


Fields of activities

The environmental compatibility of organic and inorganic materials mainly depends on the nature of their emissions and the impacts of immissions from the environment.

Analytic methods for the determination and evaluation of hazardous substances are developed and tests for damage analysis and material protection are carried out.

The expertise acquired in the field of conservation of historic artefacts can be adapted to manufacturing methods for the protection of industrial consumer goods.

Analytical reference methods and databases have been established relying on multi sensoric gas measurements for analyzing air pollutants (i.e. 'electronic nose').
