Editorial summary

A screening procedure estimates emissions from wet products by tracking mass loss and residual target chemicals during controlled fume-hood evaporation. Tests with a liquid and a paste-like product are compared with chamber results, including FLEC data, to evaluate the method for low-volatility substances affected by chamber sinks.

FLEC use

FLEC method, modelling or validation

The paper's primary contribution is a new fume-hood emission-measurement technique benchmarked against FLEC chamber tests. Under the method-comparison precedence, this is method even though FLEC measurements were performed.
