Answer the following questions using the three-zone indoor air quality model tutorial.
What layout in a real home might be realistically represented by three zones?
Adjust the volumes and air flows for the three zones to represent a layout you have in mind. How much exposure might a person in one of the adjacent rooms to a smoker receive in the layout you have chosen?
Using the two-zone mass balance model interactive tutorial, answer the following questions about particle dynamics in two rooms that are connected by an open or closed doorway.
Under what conditions can concentrations in Room #2 exceed those in Room #1?
What parameters affect the distance in time between the concentration peaks in each room?
How realistic do you think this model in describing air pollutant levels in two separate rooms of a real home due to smoking or some other pollution source? What added features would make it more realistic?
The average concentration of particulate matter (PM) in the air breathed by a person in Palo Alto is 25 μg/m3. Assume that 75% of PM (by mass) is 6 μm particles, 20% is 2 μm particles, and 5% is 0.1 μm particles.
The book "Exposure Analysis" (533p), edited by Wayne R. Ott, Anne C. Steinemann, and Lance A. Wallace, was published in 2007 by CRC Press, Boca Raton (Taylor & Francis Group). It is the first complete resource in the emerging scientific discipline of exposure analysis.
