A dry bisulfite-impregnated glass fiber collector was used in the desiccator test for measuring formaldehyde emission from six different commercial wood products. The correlation factor between the wet and dry method is R2=0.865 and confirms the reproducibility of the current collector chemistry. The dry method allows the study of conditioning effects on formaldehyde release.
