Random width, 32-mm (5/4-in) nominal thickness air-dried basswood lumber was received from a supplier in the Lake States region. Two laboratory-scale charges were cut from the lumber and kiln-dried to determine volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions as per federal guidelines. The mean emission value from the two charges was 0.0222 kg VOC as carbon per cubic meter (0.115 pounds per MBF) of dried lumber.
