Editorial summary

The authors deployed passive flux samplers on numerous surfaces in a Tokyo concrete building to apportion indoor carbonyl and VOC emissions. Area-adjusted estimates identified the carpet, ceiling and walls as the main contributors, while the door, flooring and desk made much smaller contributions.

FLEC use

FLEC mention, comparison or reference

The article's introduction names field and laboratory emission cells and cites FLEC literature as established emission-measurement approaches, but all measurements reported in this study used the authors' passive flux samplers rather than FLEC.
