Total hydrocarbon emissions from red alder lumber during drying

Hydrocarbon emissions can be precursors to low-level ozone formation and states may regulate them to maintain ambient air quality. Total hydrocarbon emissions were measured during the drying of red alder lumber. Fresh wood had low emissions, 0.2 pounds per 1,000 board feet. Wood that was stored for an extended period in salt water had emissions that were up to 40 times greater than this.
