Editorial summary
The study exposed two UV-coated wood flooring products to ozone and several light sources in double-cylinder laboratory chambers, with an additional room-scale field test. Heating, ultraviolet irradiation and ozone increased secondary emissions including formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, although the response depended on exposure type.
Editorial, non-verbatim summary based on the Elsevier publisher abstract and accessible article sections; no commercially reusable licence was verified.
FLEC use
FLEC mention, comparison or reference
The study's own measurements used a double-cylinder chamber and a room-scale field chamber, while publisher-indexed article text discusses FLEC only as an earlier comparator for chamber airflow and emission correlation; this is background use rather than experimental FLEC use.
