Editorial summary

Experiments in purpose-built stainless-steel and wood chambers examine how wall sorption and airflow alter DEHP and DINP emissions from vinyl flooring. FLEC is part of the supporting literature on phthalate emission and mass transfer, but was not used in the reported tests.

Original editorial summary (non-verbatim), based on the publisher abstract and accessible methods excerpts.

FLEC use

FLEC mention, comparison or reference

The methods specify purpose-built chambers rather than a FLEC. FLEC appears in citations supporting discussion of phthalate emissions and mass-transfer effects.
