Editorial summary
Long-term DEHP release from vinyl flooring was measured in five FLECs operated initially at the same flow and later at different flow rates, with a sixth cell serving as a blank. The measurements and CFD analysis indicate that emission rate rises with air exchange even as gas-phase concentration falls slightly, and they also assess sorption on internal cell surfaces.

FLEC use
FLEC method, modelling or validation
The paper primarily characterises how FLEC airflow changes measured DEHP emission and uses CFD to analyse the cell's gas and surface concentrations. Under the CFD and flow-characterisation precedence, this is method.
