Editorial summary

The authors designed a portable, low-cost cell for laboratory and field measurements of PCB emissions from building surfaces. The paper treats FLEC as a substantive comparator for emission-cell design and airflow, but measurements were made with the newly developed cell rather than a FLEC.

FLEC use

FLEC method, modelling or validation

The article describes FLEC and its characteristic flow pattern while motivating and comparing the new portable cell. It does not report measurements performed with a FLEC.
