Editorial summary

The authors develop a passive emission cell for simultaneous multi-sampling to screen indoor sources of formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds. Tests on wood composites and a bookshelf show that source-based emission estimates can reproduce concentrations measured in a larger chamber; FLEC is discussed only as a pre-existing method.

Editorial, non-verbatim summary based on the publisher abstract and public technical documentation; no commercially reusable licence for the original abstract was verified.

FLEC use

FLEC mention, comparison or reference

The method developed and tested is ECSMS, not FLEC. FLEC appears in the background comparison of existing source-screening approaches.
