Editorial summary

Gas-phase concentrations of several conventional and alternative plasticisers were measured in FLEC experiments, with long equilibration periods observed for some low-volatility compounds. The paper also compares predicted physicochemical properties and resulting gas-particle partition estimates, highlighting uncertainty when experimental vapour-pressure data are scarce.
