The paper addresses the role of the main components of wood cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin as well as of wood extractives as a potential source of formaldehyde. Lignin seems to have a higher emission potential than cellulose and hemicellulose. Moreover, the results reveal that on the one hand extractives release formaldehyde and on the other hand that certain wood extractives react with formaldehyde and hence act as a formaldehyde scavenger. Formaldehyde emanates from wood at temperatures as low as 40 C. Higher temperatures increase the formaldehyde emission tremendously. Therefore, thermo-mechanical pulping enhances formaldehyde release exorbitantely. Differences in the formaldehyde emission between wood species are discussed and related to differences in their chemical composition.
