Résumé
Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) are produced during the metabolism of mould growth. The measurement of MVOCs is considered as a possible means to identify suspected or hidden mould growth, as well as indoor moisture problems. In this study, volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions were monitored from mould inoculated building materials (plywood and spruce) in order to identify MVOC profiles emitted during mould growth. Inoculated samples were incubated in a customized incubation chamber under constant environmental conditions, and monitored for VOC emissions and mould growth. Air samples were collected from the incubation chambers using Tenax TA tubes and analyzed by gas chromatography—mass spectrometry. Experimental results showed that the identified MVOCs were mostly ketones and terpenes/terpenoids, whose evolutions were correlated with mould growth activity, even prior to any visual signs of growth.
