Summary
The indoor air quality of residential buildings was characterized to determine the types, rates of emissions, and fates of gaseous and particulate air pollutants from typical indoor combustion appliances. Measurements were conducted in occupied residential buildings and during controlled laboratory experiments with combustion appliances. The SO/sub 2/, NO, NO/sub 2/, O/sub 3/, CO, and CO/sub 2/ concentrations and aerosol size distribution were determined on a continuous basis. Total and respirable-fraction particulate samples were collected on membrane filter media for analysis by x-ray fluorescence (XRFA), photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA), proton activation analysis (PAA), combustion, and wet-chemistry techniques for the determination of particulate elemental composition (S, N, C, etc.) and ionic species such as SO/sub 4//sup 2 -/, NO/sub 3//sup -/, and NH/sub 4//sup +/. Results of the study indicate that the concentrations of some gaseous and respirable particulate air pollutants in the indoor environment exceed those levels commonly found in the outdoor urban air environment. Such findings may have a large impact on the future design of epidemiology studies, on energy conservation strategies for buildings, and on the need for more stringent control of air pollution from indoor combustion sources.
