The intake fraction is the attributable pollutant mass inhaled by an exposed population per
unit mass released from a source. In this paper, mathematical models are combined with …

Elevated exposure to airborne particulate matter is linked to deleterious health and well-
being outcomes. Exposure assessment can be improved through enhanced understanding …

The modeling of the indoor concentration distribution produced by sources and sinks of
pollutants is complicated by nonuniform mixing in a building or large room. Two common …

A uniform pollutant concentration in indoor environments can be an inappropriate
representation of breathing concentration. This is especially true when local airflow in the …

Assessments of exposure to indoor air pollutants usually employ spatially well-mixed
models which assume homogeneous concentrations throughout a building or room …

Information about the ratio between indoor and outdoor concentrations (IO ratios) of air
pollutants is a crucial component in human exposure assessment. The present study …

Poor air quality is a leading contributor to the global disease burden and total number of
deaths worldwide. Humans spend most of their time in built environments where the majority …

This paper derives the analytical solutions to multicompartment indoor air quality models for
predicting indoor air pollutant concentrations in the home and evaluates the solutions using …

A set of 209 dwellings that represent 80% of US housing stock is used to generate frequency
distributions of residential infiltration rates. The set of homes is based on an analysis of the …

Heating, ventilating, and air‐conditioning (HVAC) systems usually supply air, which is a
mixture of fresh air from the outdoor environment, and return air from rooms via the …
