Editorial summary

This review examines practical difficulties in estimating organic-compound emissions from indoor materials and contrasts dynamic ex-situ chambers with passive in-situ sampling devices. It discusses how device design, material morphology and reference-material limitations affect data quality. FLEC is covered as one of the reviewed emission-measurement approaches; the paper reports no new FLEC experiment.

Original editorial summary, not a verbatim abstract, based on the publisher review abstract and DOI record.

FLEC use

FLEC mention, comparison or reference

The publication is a review of devices and challenges in indoor-material emission testing. Under the taxonomy, review discussion of FLEC is mention even when the device is described substantively, because the authors report no new FLEC method or experiment.
