Delayed emissions dominate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances’ release from architectural coatings in US residential buildings
Chem Circularity
In: Chem Circularity, vol. 1, article 100076, 2026.
Editorial summary
The study models how PFAS contained in architectural coatings move through the United States residential-building stock and are released over time. Its results emphasise that long service lives can shift substantial releases into future demolition and waste-management stages; FLEC occurs only in a cited PVC-flooring emission study.

The open article cites the earlier FLEC-and-CLIMPAQ DEHP experiment; it does not report FLEC measurements of coatings.
