Emission characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were investigated in the flue gas emitted from wood drying process for plywood manufacturing. The moisture content of raw timber was average 48%, and its density was $831.55kg/m^3$. But the moisture content of dried wood is needed less than around 10%, thus the moisture contents of flue gas should be remarkably high(about 18.2 V/V%). Therefore, the vapor in flue gas is equivalent to 320 ton-vapor/day when 1100 ton-wood/day is treated in the wood drying process. The temperature of flue gas ranges from $140^{circ}C;to;150^{circ}C$ in each dryer stack with exception of the input site of wood(about $110^{circ}C$). The velocity of flue gas in each stack ranges from 1.7 to 9.7m/sec. In order to assess the concentrations and attribution rate of odorous compounds, it was analyzed about 40 VOCs in the flue gases. It was found that the major odorous compounds were 8 compounds, and the concentrations of major VOCs(ppm) were as follows; benzene: $0.054{sim}0.052$, toluene: $1.011{sim}2.547$, ethylbenzene: $0.472{sim}2.023$, m,p-xylene: $0.504{sim}3.245$, styrene: $0.015{sim}0.148$, o-xylene : $0.271{sim}1.097$, ethanol: $11.2{sim}32.5$, ${alpha}$-pinene: $0.908{sim}10.578$, ${eta}$-pinene: $0.982{sim}14.278$. The attribution rate of terpenes (${alpha}$-pinene, ${eta}$-pinene) was about 60.56%, and that of aromatics and alcohols was about 22.77%, and 16.67%, respectively. It is suggested that the adequate control device should be used to control both the water soluble and non-soluble compounds because both compounds were mixed in flue gas.
