Description:
The article discusses a three-phase approach, employing environmental chambers, indoor air quality (IAQ) models, and test house experiments, that is effective in linking sources of indoor pollutants to measured concentrations. mission factors developed in test chambers can be used to evaluate full-scale indoor environments. C-based lAQ model has been developed that can accurately predict indoor concentrations of specific pollutants under controlled conditions in a test house. The model is also useful in examining the effect of pollutant sinks and variations in ventilation parameters. Pollutants were examined from: 1) para- dichlorobenzene emissions from moth crystal cakes, and (2) particulate emissions from unvented kerosene heaters. However, the approach has not been validated for other source types.
