Editorial summary
The authors refined a micro-scale headspace-vial method coupled with HS-SPME to study DOP and DINP degradation under humid alkaline conditions. A carbowax-divinylbenzene fibre gave the strongest alcohol extraction, and formation of the degradation products depended strongly on pH.

FLEC mention, comparison or reference
The publisher's indexed article text describes FLEC as an established but slow and equipment-intensive approach before presenting the authors' MHV/HS-SPME alternative; FLEC is background context, not an apparatus used in the reported experiments.
