Editorial summary
This paper develops an analytical model and a hybrid optimisation method to characterise VOC and SVOC emissions under ventilated conditions. It estimates initial emittable concentrations, diffusion coefficients and material/air and chamber-surface/air partition coefficients. Evaluation uses furniture measurements and published emission datasets, and the study explores how temperature changes emission behaviour. Its reference list includes the FLEC study of temperature-dependent DEHP emissions from PVC flooring.
