Editorial summary
A physically based model for VOC release from paint was calibrated and tested using FLEC measurements of a commercial water-based coating applied to aluminium and particleboard. The experiments identified 23 compounds, and the model showed how an absorptive substrate can lower the initial peak while prolonging emissions.

FLEC use
Direct FLEC measurements
FLEC supplied the experimental paint-emission data used to estimate and validate model parameters; the primary study concerns paint/substrate emissions rather than the FLEC method itself.
