Sources and source strengths of indoor air pollutants: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:48, 2 November 2011

Utilization

Information of the indoor source strengths is needed for modelling the indoor exposure levels when the indoor concentrations are not available by direct measurements. In this case the source strength i.e. emission rate can be used as input for the dispersion model that is used to calculate the indoor concentrations.

Limitations

Source strengths data is difficult to find.

-The BUMA project aims to form a comprehensive database of current quantified emitted compounds by construction products and other building materials including particleboards, wood products, paints, adhesives, vinyl tiles and coving etc. It will thoroughly assess human exposure to air hazards emitted by such building materials that are commonly used in Europe in order to gain a better understanding of the sources of hazardous VOCs and other compounds that exist in the indoor environment.
