A comparison of the organic chemical composition of indoor aerosols during woodburning aero non-woodburning periods

Daisey, Joan M. / Spengler, John D. / Kaarakka, Paul

AbstractConcentrations of respirable particulate matter (RSP), extractable organic matter (EOM) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were compared in seven Wisconsin homes during woodburning and non-woodburning periods. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two periods for RSP concentrations. Concentrations of EOM, however, were approximately two times higher and concentrations of PAH were 2 to 46 times higher during the periods when the wood stoves were in operation. The average source strength for emissions or particulate organic matter for the airtight stoves in five of the homes was estimated to be 1.8 mg - h⁻¹.
