Default Offgassing from vinyl floors vs. laminate floors

I know vinyl flooring offgasses toxins for quite some time, however, is
it like carpet where it stops after a few years or does it continue
offgassing for it's whole life.

Does laminate flooring (ie: Pergo and such) offgass also? If so, how
long does it last (years, decades, forever, etc.). Would vinyl or
laminate flooring be worse when it comes to releasing toxins?

Thanks,
Harry

P.S. I know there are other flooring options that are probably better
when it comes to offgassing, etc. (ie: linoleum).
