Observations on Application of the Field and Laboratory Emission Cell (FLEC) for Latex Paint Emissions—Effect of Relative Humidity
Proceedings of Indoor Air '96
In: Proceedings of Indoor Air '96, vol. 2, pp. 657–662, 1996. EPA report EPA/600/A-97/006.
Editorial summary
The EPA study evaluates how relative humidity and other operating conditions affect FLEC measurements of VOC emissions from latex paint and compares results with small chambers. It concludes that humidified supply air is needed for reliable field use and that some compounds require further evaluation.

FLEC use
FLEC method, modelling or validation
Evaluation of FLEC operating conditions and comparison against small chambers are the study's primary contribution, so method takes precedence.
