Editorial summary
Indoor and outdoor VOCs and formaldehyde were measured before occupancy in 107 newly built Korean apartments. A mass-balance model was used to estimate surface-specific emission rates and attribute major contributions to groups of interior materials; FLEC enters through cited prior source studies, not the authors' field protocol.
Editorial, non-verbatim summary based on the publisher abstract and accessible article text; no commercially reusable licence for the original abstract was verified.
FLEC use
FLEC mention, comparison or reference
The article cites earlier on-site FLEC work when discussing source attribution. Its own evidence comes from apartment air sampling and mass-balance calculations, not FLEC measurements.
