“…Because housing characteristics and ambient concentrations of all pollutants were different between the valley and mountain sites, it was difficult to see a clear relationship between indoor HONO and cooking on a gas range. Under controlled conditions, Traynor et al (27) showed that gas ranges emit HONO at about 11% the rate of NO 2 emissions. Variations in other variables across the homes studied here and the fact that cooking times were not recorded prevented us from examining the direct impacts from cooking on a gas range.…”

Nitrous acid (HONO) may be generated by heterogeneous reactions of nitrogen dioxide and direct emission from combustion sources. Interactions among nitrogen oxides and ozone are important for outdoor photochemical reactions. However, little is known of indoor HONO levels or the relationship between residential HONO, NO(2), and O(3) concentrations in occupied houses. Six-day integrated indoor and outdoor concentrations of the three pollutants were simultaneously measured in two communities in Southern California using passive samplers. The average indoor HONO concentration was 4.6 ppb, compared to 0.9 ppb for outdoor HONO. Average indoor and outdoor NO(2)concentrations were 28 and 20.1 ppb, respectively. Indoor O(3) concentrations were low (average 14.9 ppb) in comparison to the outdoor levels (average 56.5 ppb). Housing characteristics, including community and presence of a gas range, were significantly associated with indoor NO(2) and HONO concentrations. Indoor HONO levels were closely correlated with indoor NO(2) levels and were about 17% of indoor NO(2) concentrations. Indoor HONO levels were inversely correlated with indoor O(3) levels. The measurements demonstrated the occurrence of substantial residential indoor HONO concentrations and associations among the three indoor air pollutants.

“…This is in strong contrast to the characterization of emissions from combustion appliances (Johnson et al, 1984;Leaderer, 1982;Traynor et a/., 1982) and building materials (Girman et al, 1984;Molhave, 1982), where numerous chamber studies have been conducted. In this paper, considerations necessary for evaluating emissions from consumer products in laboratory studies are presented.…”

“…The protocol was modified to reflect this change. (Traynor, Anthon and Hollowell, 1982). Because of the temporal variation of emissions from some consumer products, it may be necessary to use a version of this model that can address these variations (Traynor et al, 1985).…”

As buildings are tightened for energy conservation purposes, the concentration of indoor-generated air pollutants can increase. Federal agencies, state agencies, utilities, and public health organizations have an interest in indoor air-pollution levels and the impact various policy decisions will have on them. This paper identifies key parameters that affect indoor air pollutant levels from combustion related sources and suggests protocols for measuring each parameter. Indoor air quality field studies should measure the indoor pollutant levels themselves and the key parameters that affect such levels. Key parameters such as appliance usage patterns, indoor pollutant reactivity rates, local ventilation effects, air exchange rates, and source usage driving forces are addressed. In addition, state-of-the-art measurement techniques, time sampling periods, and overall sample sizes needed are briefly discussed.
