Editorial summary

Long-term experiments in duplicate FLECs and a CLIMPAQ chamber quantified DEHP release from PVC flooring and its subsequent accumulation in settled dust. The data support a persistent, transfer-limited emission process and show that dust on the flooring can act as an additional sink for the plasticizer.

FLEC use

Direct FLEC measurements

FLEC is named in the title and used directly alongside CLIMPAQ to study DEHP emissions and dust uptake; the principal scientific object is DEHP transport from PVC flooring.
