Characterizing Indoor Surface VOC Contamination after the 2025 Los Angeles Fires
Environmental Science & Technology Letters
In: Environmental Science & Technology Letters, vol. 13, no. 3, pp. 367–372, 2026.
Editorial summary
The study characterises VOC contamination retained on indoor surfaces after the 2025 Los Angeles fires. The discussion compares its observations with values from earlier FLEC-cell and whole-building studies, but the authors did not use FLEC for their own sampling.
Editorial, non-verbatim summary based on the ACS record and the publicly available manuscript.
FLEC use
FLEC mention, comparison or reference
FLEC is used only to contextualise results from the literature; the study's own post-fire surface measurements used other sampling methods.
