Editorial summary

PVC- and linoleum-based floor assemblies were exposed to alkaline solutions while their secondary VOC emissions were measured with a Field and Laboratory Emission Cell. The findings attribute most degradation emissions to the adhesive and indicate that adhesive quantity and high alkalinity strongly affect the release rate.

FLEC use

Direct FLEC measurements

The university record states that the study measured secondary emissions from the flooring systems with the Field and Laboratory Emission Cell; FLEC is an experimental tool applied to the material system rather than the primary object of method development.
