Indoor Air Quality, Infiltration and Ventilation in Residential Buildings
The project investigated indoor air pollution sources, control techniques and construction practices. The research was undertaken primarily to explore the relationship between indoor pollution levels and the relative 'tightness' of homes. The project was limited to the study of five pollutants: radon; nitrogen dioxide; formaldehyde; respirable suspended particulates; and carbon monoxide. The researchers monitored 60 upstate homes for both pollutant levels and air tightness. Approximately half of the homes were of conventional construction, with the other half utilizing energy-efficient construction techniques. Most of the homes were selected because they had known potential pollutant sources such as wood stoves, kerosene heaters, etc. After the initial monitoring, houses with high indoor pollution levels were monitored more closely. Finally, six homes with high nitrogen dioxide and respirable suspended particulate levels and 14 homes with high radon levels were fitted with control techniques and monitored.
