Abstract
Recently, the generation of poisonous substances, such as formaldehyde, from adhesives or paints used for interior finishing projects has become a serious problem. Dust and cutting chips produced while working with woodceramics (WCS) are currently put into disposal. This study aimed to determine a way to recycle dust and cutting chips. The authors focused on the excellent gas adsorptivity of WCS, and attempted to use these materials in construction. Several paints were prepared to adsorb poisonous substances in the air to prevent sick house syndrome. A large amount of wooden building materials, from which WCS are produced, is discharged from construction sites every day. Therefore, if they can be reused as construction materials, one of ideal recycles can be achieved. Thus, WCS have great potential to be used as eco-friendly materials.
