Erprobung eines Prüfkammerverfahrens zur Messung der werkstoffbedingten Emissionen aus Arbeitsmitteln der Informationstechnik

Five different devices of information technology (four computer monitors and one personal computer) were tested for their material-related emissions under the conditions of a provisional test chamber procedure. According to expectations during the operation in a 1 m3 high-grade steel chamber for each device a multiplicity of volatile organic compounds was determined. In addition to the chemical analyses the total toxicity of the emissions was investigated in a bacterial test. The results of this study should help to complete the criteria for the BG-PRUEFZERT-mark "sicher, ergonomisch, emissionsarm" which is assigned by the berufsgenossenschaftlichen Fachausschuss Verwaltung for this group of devices.
