Editorial summary
The authors developed and calibrated a small static emission cell coupled to solid-phase microextraction for measuring gas-phase organophosphate flame-retardant concentrations immediately above a material surface. A polyurethane-foam generation system produced stable TCPP and TBP concentrations, enabling reproducible calibration and measurements that remained stable over more than 228 days. The method is intended to improve source characterization and exposure assessment for low-volatility indoor contaminants.

FLEC use
FLEC mention, comparison or reference
The authors developed and used a distinct midget emission cell rather than a FLEC. FLEC occurs when the full text discusses earlier DEHP-generation work performed with a FLEC cell, so its role here is literature background rather than experimental use.
