Editorial summary
This book chapter introduces indoor phthalates and flame retardants, reviews chamber evidence on their emission processes and presents a simplified model for steady-state gas-phase concentrations. It connects those concentrations to inhalation, dust ingestion and dermal exposure; FLEC is one of the experimental approaches covered in the review.

FLEC mention, comparison or reference
This is a review chapter. FLEC occurs in its discussion of chamber experiments and supporting literature, not in a new author-performed experiment.
