Editorial summary
Plywood treated with urea, catechin or vanillin was tested to determine whether these compounds suppress formaldehyde emissions. A commercial FLEC served as the micro-emission cell, and the treatments substantially reduced measured release rates, with urea also lowering concentrations in a full kitchen-cabinet trial.

FLEC use
Direct FLEC measurements
The article's experimental section explicitly identifies a FLEC from Chematec as the micro-emission cell used to measure formaldehyde release from treated plywood.
