VOC emission rates from an indoor surface using a flux chamber and PTR-MS

Editorial summary
The study measures emissions from a painted surface in a test house with a small stainless-steel flux chamber coupled to PTR-MS and compares the scaled results with whole-house emission estimates. The chamber is not a commercial FLEC, but its operating parameters are explicitly matched to those of FLEC and the paper evaluates this FLEC-derived surface-flux approach.

FLEC use
FLEC method, modelling or validation
The paper's primary contribution is an in-situ flux-chamber measurement method; the authors explicitly state that their chamber uses operating parameters similar to FLEC before evaluating chamber-versus-whole-house emission estimates. No commercial FLEC cell was used.
