Editorial summary

The authors develop a closed-vial SPME method for assessing the equilibrium relationship between DEHP in PVC and adjacent air. They reanalyse earlier FLEC results, including mass-transfer corrections and FLEC operating parameters, but do not run a FLEC experiment themselves.

Original editorial summary (non-verbatim), based on the publisher record and an accessible manuscript copy.

FLEC use

FLEC method, modelling or validation

The paper substantively reworks published FLEC measurements and tabulates FLEC geometry and operating conditions to correct external mass-transfer effects. Its own experiment is a closed-chamber SPME test.
