Editorial summary
An office investigation combined employee health records and symptom surveys with indoor-air testing and in-situ FLEC measurements from concrete beneath degraded PVC floor coverings. Removal of the floor system and accelerated ventilation reduced marker VOCs and coincided with fewer symptoms and lower medication needs among several affected workers.

FLEC use
Direct FLEC measurements
The PubMed abstract explicitly states that in-situ volatile-emission measurements from the concrete floor were performed with the FLEC method.
