Editorial summary

A rapid field method couples FLEC with PTR-MS to derive VOC adsorption and desorption parameters on gypsum board and vinyl flooring. Tests at low concentrations assess robustness, time resolution and the range over which the parameters can be recovered.

FLEC use

FLEC method, modelling or validation

The study's primary contribution is development and evaluation of a field methodology coupling FLEC to PTR-MS. Under the method-precedence rule, it is method even though the authors performed FLEC experiments on materials.
