Editorial summary

This study compares VOC emission rates from aged alkyd paint measured in a 1 m³ chamber, FLEC and CLIMPAQ under matched climatic and area-specific ventilation conditions. The three systems differed in stabilization time but produced emission rates that agreed within the study's stated overall uncertainty.
