Editorial summary

The study evaluates hazardous chemical emissions from baby crawling mats and yoga mats, with particular attention to how placement orientation changes emissions and potential indoor exposure. FLEC enters the paper only through a cited earlier study of airflow-dependent DEHP emissions from vinyl flooring.
