“…The average energy that each house received is 363,341 kJ/month and correspondingly 505 kJ/h. Using the range of NO 2 emission rates from 7.7 to 12.9 μ g/kJ (Moschandreas and Relwani, 1987), NO 2 emission rates can range from 3885 to 6510 μ g/h. The estimated range of NO 2 emission rates was comparable with the NO 2 emission rates of 6258 μ g/h in Seoul.…”

“…However, the relative impact of indoor sources on the deterioration of IAQ is poorly understood, because emission rates of indoor pollutants can vary largely due to many factors. For example, the emission rates of nitric oxide (NO), NO 2 and carbon monoxide (CO) in invented gas appliances vary as a function of primary aeration rate (Moschandreas and Relwani, 1987). NO 2 emissions increased with increasing range top burner age.…”

Indoor air quality can be affected by indoor sources, ventilation, decay and outdoor levels. Although technologies exist to measure these factors, direct measurements are often difficult. The purpose of this study was to develop an alternative method to characterize indoor environmental factors by multiple indoor and outdoor measurements. Daily indoor and outdoor NO2 concentrations were measured for 30 consecutive days in 28 houses in Brisbane, Australia, and for 21 consecutive days in 37 houses in Seoul, Korea. Using a mass balance model and regression analysis, penetration factor (ventilation rate divided by the sum of ventilation rate and deposition constant) and source strength factor (source strength divided by the sum of ventilation rate and deposition constant) were calculated using multiple indoor and outdoor measurements. Subsequently, the ventilation rate and NO2 source strength were estimated. Geometric means of ventilation rate were 1.44 air change per hour (ACH) in Brisbane, assuming a residential NO2 deposition constant of 1.05/h, and 1.36 ACH in Seoul, with the measured residential NO2 deposition constant of 0.94/h. Source strengths of NO2 were 15.8 +/- 18.2 and 44.7 +/- 38.1 microg/m3/h in Brisbane and Seoul, respectively. In conclusion, indoor environmental factors were effectively characterized by this method using multiple indoor and outdoor measurements.

“…However, the relative impact of indoor sources on the deterioration of indoor air quality is poorly understood, because emission rates of indoor pollutants can vary largely due to many factors. For example, the emission rates of nitric oxide (NO), NO 2 and carbon monoxide (CO) in unvented gas appliances may vary as a function of primary aeration rate and NO 2 emissions increased with increasing range top burner age [9]. These suggest that maintenance should be considered as a means of reducing NO 2 emission rates.…”

Indoor nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) concentration is an important factor for personal exposure despite the wide distribution of its sources. Exposure to NO₂ may produce adverse health effects. The aims of this study were to characterize the indoor air quality of wayside shops using multiple NO₂ measurements, and to estimate the contribution of outdoor NO₂ sources such as vehicle emission to indoor air quality. Daily indoor and outdoor NO₂ concentrations were measured for 21 consecutive days in wayside shops (5 convenience stores, 5 coffee shops, and 5 restaurants). Contributions of outdoor NO₂ sources to indoor air quality were calculated with penetration factors and source strength factors by indoor mass balance model in winter and summer, respectively. Most wayside shops had significant differences in indoor and outdoor NO₂ concentrations both in winter and in summer. Indoor NO₂ concentrations in restaurants were twice more than those in convenience stores and coffee shops in winter. While outdoor NO₂ contributions in indoor convenience stores and coffee shops were dominant, indoor NO₂ contributions were dominant in restaurants. These could be explained that indoor NO₂ sources such as gas range and smoking mainly affect indoor concentrations comparing to outdoor sources such as vehicle emission. The indoor mass balance model by multiple measurements suggests that quantitative contribution of outdoor air on indoor air quality might be estimated without measurements of ventilation, indoor generation and decay rate.

“…Thus, a literature review was conducted to identify research papers with combustion related emission rates. As a result of this search, data from 21 references are included representing emissions from gas range tops (He et al 2004;Wallace et al 2004;Borazzo et al 1987;Moschandreas et al 1987;Billick et al 1984;Caceres et al 1983;Traynor et al 1982;Yamanaka et al 1979), gas ovens (He et al 2004;Borazzo et al 1987;Traynor et al 1982), gas space heaters (Apte and Traynor 1986;Billick 1985;Traynor et al 1985;Billick et al 1984;Caceres et al 1983;Girman et al 1982;Yamanaka et al 1979), kerosene space heaters (Tamura 1987;Traynor et al 1987a;Apte and Traynor 1986;Porter 1984;Caceres et al 1983;Girman et al 1982;Yamanaka et al 1979), wood stoves (McDonald et al 2000;Nabinger et al 1995;McCrillis and Burnet 1990;Traynor et al 1987b;Knight et al 1986), wood-burning fireplaces (McDonald et al 2000), and candles (Fine et al 1999).…”

In order to estimate building contaminant concentrations and associated occupant exposures, indoor air quality (IAQ) model users require data related to source strengths and other contaminant transport mechanisms (e.g. sinks, filters). Much of this information exists in the literature; however, it is not readily accessible, thereby requiring users to expend significant efforts in searching for this information. To support the modeling process, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a series of model input databases for use in its multizone IAQ and ventilation model CONTAM. As part of this effort, a standard data entry format was developed, as well as a computer program to search the database for specific records and build a CONTAM input library. These databases and tools can serve as a basis for building an extensive collection of model input parameters, assessing the quality and completeness of existing data sets, and allow for identification of significant data gaps.
