Editorial summary
The authors optimized passive FLEC-SPME sampling by establishing material-specific equilibrium times for pine, carpet and PVC and then testing additional materials over three days. Comparison with standard dynamic sampling found only minor qualitative differences in detecting regulated VOCs of interest, supporting the method's use for field source identification.

FLEC use
FLEC method, modelling or validation
The paper's primary contribution is optimization and assessment of the FLEC-SPME method itself, including equilibrium-time studies and comparison with the standard dynamic sampling protocol.
