Relating indoor NO2 levels to infant personal exposures
Abstract We report here the results of a field survey of personal nitrogen dioxide exposure (PNO2) of infants and simultaneous indoor NO2 levels from various points throughout the infants' homes. Personal nitrogen dioxide levels can be predicted by average room NO2 concentrations when appropriately weighted by infant presence in the room. Bedroom NO2 concentration alone presents an alternative predictor which is more suitable for use in large scale surveys. Because of the typical infant's peculiar time-location patterns, they receive most of their NO2 exposures in bedrooms (65 %)and living rooms (32 %), while the kitchen (5 %) and outdoor environments (> 2%)contribute only a small fraction of daily exposure. Average NO2 exposure during cooking periods can be predicted using passive samplers placed directly over stoves and hours of stove use time.
