Editorial summary

A detailed mass-transfer model is used to examine how substrate diffusion and sorption alter VOC emissions from a wet water-based coating. Emission profiles measured in a standard FLEC validate the model and support the conclusion that the substrate can act as a secondary source.

FLEC use

Direct FLEC measurements

The authors used a standard FLEC to measure coating emissions and validate a study of substrate effects; FLEC itself was not the primary methodological contribution.
