Editorial summary
A glass passive flux sampler was developed to estimate DEHP surface concentrations from PVC sheets within a short sampling period. The study substantively contrasts this approach with ventilated chambers such as FLEC and discusses how FLEC geometry can affect emissions controlled by external mass transfer.

FLEC use
FLEC method, modelling or validation
FLEC is analysed as a methodological comparator, including limitations caused by its thin cavity for some emission regimes. The experiments use the newly developed passive flux sampler rather than a FLEC.
