Editorial summary

This review evaluates methods for determining key VOC and SVOC emission parameters, including initial emittable concentration, diffusion and partition coefficients, and near-surface gas concentration. It compares method performance, datasets and the effects of temperature, humidity, loading and air exchange, and includes a comparison of values derived from CLIMPAQ and FLEC configurations. The authors do not report a new FLEC experiment.

FLEC use

FLEC mention, comparison or reference

FLEC is discussed within a review of published parameter-measurement methods, including comparison of literature values from CLIMPAQ and FLEC. Because this is review use rather than the authors' own FLEC experiment or a primary FLEC method-validation paper, it is classified as mention.
