Editorial summary

Passive flux samplers were used to map formaldehyde emissions from numerous surfaces in French classrooms and support a mass-balance assessment of mitigation options. FLEC is discussed as an established on-site method and contrasted with the sampler, but it was not used in the field campaign.

Original editorial summary (non-verbatim), based on the publisher abstract and accessible article excerpts.
