Air Pollution
The Total Exposure Assessment Methodology (TEAM) Study
A report of the US EPA describing the landmark TEAM study
California Air Resources Board (CARB)
CARB is a California state government agency that regulates air-pollution-generating activities. The board supports several research programs, notably the Indoor Air Quality and Personal Exposure Assessment program.
Vehicle Microenvironment Project
Please visit the VM Summary Page for a complete listing of the aims, investigators, and materials associated with the Vehicle Microenvironment (VM) hosted project.
The motor vehicle is a special kind of indoor environment, which requires special attention. Firstly, vehicles have much smaller volumes than most other indoor environments, and, therefore, pollutants emitted in their interior have the potential to reach peak levels that far exceed anything that would occur in homes, offices, and other indoor locations.
Real-Time Particle Monitoring Methods Project
Please visit the RTPMM Summary Page for a complete listing of the aims, investigators, and materials associated with the Real-Time Particle Monitoring Methods (RTPMM) hosted project.
Local Air Pollutant Dispersion Project
Please visit the LAPD Summary Page for a quick description of the aims, investigators, and materials associated with the Local Air Pollutant Dispersion (LAPD) hosted project.
Air Change Rates of Motor Vehicles and In-Vehicle Pollutant Concentrations from Secondhand Smoke
This article describes a series of tracer gas experiments designed to measure vehicle air exchange rates for a variety of speeds, window positions, and ventilator functions. Experiments were also conducted to measure real-time particles from secondhand smoke in cars across various conditions.
Modeling Human Exposure to Air Pollution
Book chapter describing methods in the modeling of exposure to air pollutants, focusing on secondhand tobacco smoke
Indoor Air Quality Project
Please visit the IAQ Summary Page for a list of the aims, investigators, and materials associated with the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) hosted project.
The IAQ project hosted here investigates a wide variety of factors that impact the concentrations of air pollution that can occur in typical indoor environments. These factors include building construction, mass emission rates of different sources, ventilation rates, particle deposition rates, chemical reaction rates (including surface interaction), and indoor-outdoor particle penetration rates.
Real-Time Measurement of Outdoor Tobacco Smoke Particles
An article describing a number of surveys to outdoor smoking locations and a number of controlled experiments on a private patio where real-time levels of airborne particulate matter were measured in proximity to smokers or burning cigarettes and cigars
Continuous Measurements of Indoor-Outdoor Particulate Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PPAH) Concentrations in Seven Homes ...
This presentation contains information on indoor-outdoor air pollutant surveys conducted in seven homes in the San Francisco Bay Area, along with application of a recursive indoor-outdoor model to the data.
