Scope
This group of data includes information on the sources (products and materials) of indoor exposure. Also the source strengths (emissions / emission factors) of different products and materials are provided. This information is useful for situations when the indoor exposure levels are modeled by taking into account the level emissions and the transport/transformation of the pollutant in the indoor environment before modeling the exposure concentrations and finally the exposure.
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.
