Description:
The paper discusses the use of an indoor air quality model, EXPOSURE, to predict pollutant concentrations and exposures. The effects of indoor air pollutants depend on the concentrations of the pollutants and the exposure of individuals to the pollutants. The air pollutant concentrations are determined by the complex interactions of sources, sinks, in-building air movement, and air exchange between the indoors and the outdoors. Individual exposure to indoor pollutants is determined by the indoor pollutant concentrations and individual activity patterns. An assessment of the effects of indoor pollutant must include analysis of these complex interactions to ensure that the analysis is done under realistic conditions.
