Throughout the world, there is a growing interest in the proper use and consumption of sustainable raw materials that are based on the recycling and reuse of petroleum-derived polymers and other recycled materials, such as sheets from collaminates. These "sustainable alternatives" appear to be an attractive solution to environmental problems, however it is important to consider the potential environmental and public health impacts that may result from their use. Therefore, the objective of our research project is to analyze the VOC emissions of "sustainable" polymeric materials such boards and colaminateds. To this end, a prototype chamber for measuring organic compounds has been designed and manufactured by coupling a series of sensors for VOCs. The results have shown the presence of gases such as CO, NO2, NH3 and particulate matter, some of which are above the permitted limits of human exposure, concluding that the emissions of some VOCs may represent a potential risk for both environmental and human health. It is essential to continue researching to find sustainable alternatives that do not compromise the health and well-being of people and the environment.
