Formaldehyde and TVOC emission behavior of laminate flooring by structure of laminate flooring and heating condition

Editorial summary
Formaldehyde and VOC releases from laminate flooring were measured with a desiccator, a 20-litre chamber and FLEC under different temperatures and flooring configurations. FLEC and the chamber produced similar time trends, although FLEC generally yielded higher emission rates, and joint geometry and heating mode affected results.

FLEC use
Direct FLEC measurements
The authors explicitly measured laminate-flooring emissions with FLEC and compared those measurements with desiccator and 20-litre chamber results.
