Given the extended times people in modern society spend indoors, monitoring VOCs is crucial due to the associated potential health hazards, with formaldehyde being particularly noteworthy. Wood and wood-based panels (WBPs) (the latter constituting a significant segment of the wood-transforming industry, being widely used in furniture, construction, and other applications) are known sources for the emission of VOCs to indoor air. In the case of the WBPs, the emission of VOCs depends on the type and species of wood, together with industrial processing and addition of additives. This review integrates perspectives on the production processes associated with WBPs, together with the evolving global regulations, and thoroughly examines VOC sources associated with WBPs, health risks from exposure, and current analytical methods utilized for VOC detection. It comprises an overview of the WBP industry, providing relevant definitions, descriptions of manufacturing processes and adhesive use, analysis of legal constraints, and explanations of VOC source identification and describing analysis techniques utilized for VOCs in WBPs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules30153195","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,30]],"date-time":"2025-07-30T14:00:41Z","timestamp":1753884041000},"page":"3195","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Wood-Based Panels and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): An Overview on Production, Emission Sources and Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6220-4955","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"F\u00e1tima Daniela","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"LAQV-REQUIMTE\u2014Departamento de Qu\u00edmica e Bioqu\u00edmica, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias, Universidade do Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre, s\/n, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4557-7113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lu\u00edsa Hora","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DEMad\u2014Departamento de Engenharia de Madeiras, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Viseu, Campus Polit\u00e9cnico de Repeses, 3504-510 Viseu, Portugal"},{"name":"LEPABE\u2014Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, s\/n, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"ALiCE\u2014Associate Laboratory in Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3950-528X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LAQV-REQUIMTE\u2014Departamento de Qu\u00edmica e Bioqu\u00edmica, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias, Universidade do Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre, s\/n, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0313-6985","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui Miguel","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LAQV-REQUIMTE\u2014Departamento de Qu\u00edmica e Bioqu\u00edmica, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias, Universidade do Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre, s\/n, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"ARCP CoLAB\u2014Rede de Compet\u00eancia em Pol\u00edmeros, UPTEC Asprela II, Rua J\u00falio de Matos 828\/882, 4200-355 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2536","DOI":"10.1021\/cr800399g","article-title":"Formaldehyde in the Indoor Environment","volume":"110","author":"Salthammer","year":"2010","journal-title":"Chem.
