Editorial summary

Emissions from engineered flooring, adhesive and their installed combination were measured by desiccator, 20-litre chamber and FLEC under floor-heating and air-circulation conditions. Temperature and ventilation mode altered formaldehyde and TVOC release, while the two chamber approaches showed similar trends but different emission-rate levels.
