Editorial summary

The study examines long-term uptake and chemical transformation of formaldehyde on lime–cement plaster under representative indoor-air conditions. A FLEC coupled to SIFT mass spectrometry was operated over 90 days, showing sustained formaldehyde removal and methanol formation consistent with a heterogeneous Cannizzaro reaction.

Editorial, non-verbatim summary based on the publisher abstract and HAL record.
