Question

What is the exposure to fine particles (PM2.5) in the Finnish population? Only outdoor sources are considered here. Exposures are calculated for defined locations (listed in a table in Rationale).

----#: . This could be implemented (as a method) for any locations in Finland, but the calculations are so slow that it is better to calculate actual answers for specified locations (as a variable) before applying it in a model. --Jouni (talk) 16:58, 5 March 2014 (EET) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)

These data come from [1]

Pollutants:

  • PM10-2.5: Primary PM10 - primary PM2.5
  • PM2.5: Primary PM2.5
  • SO2: Secondary PM2.5 derived from SO2 (in practice, SO_4)
  • NOx: Secondary PM2.5 derived from NOx (in practice, NO_3)
  • NH3: Secondary PM2.5 derived from NH3 (in practice, NH4)
