Scope
Indoor exposure knowledge management system that incorporates as much as possible of the information needed in health risk assessments related to indoor air and provides a user-friendly access to that information through this interface. The knowledge management system accommodates the data produced in the previous studies and allows powerful way to utilize the information already available. All content can by updated by anyone providing the possibility to spread the available and newly produced information fast and easily among the various target groups in the field.
The work has been done in a project called INTERA (Integrated Exposure For Risk Assessment In Indoor Environments), which is sponsored by the CEFIC LRI. More information of the project is available in the project web-pages.
Content
Work in progress
The indoor exposure knowledge management system includes links to available data, tools and documents and also provides some processed information that has not been available in a form of a database earlier.
Data
Exposure concentrations for indoor exposure
This group of data includes information on measured concentrations in indoor and outdoor air. In addition data for concentrations in consumer products and measured personal exposure levels as biomonitoring data are provided. This kind of data can be used for predicting the personal exposure levels resulting from indoor exposure.
- Measured indoor exposure levels
- Measured outdoor exposure levels
- Concentrations in consumer products
- Measured biomonitoring data
Indoor exposure sources
This group of data includes information on the sources (products and materials) of indoor exposure. Also the source strengths (emissions / emission factors) of different products and materials are provided. This information is useful for situations when the indoor exposure levels are modeled by taking into account the level emissions and the transport/transformation of the pollutant in the indoor environment before modeling the exposure concentrations and finally the exposure.
Housing and sociological conditions determining exposures
This group of data includes information on housing, such as floor area and volume, air exchange rates, habitant information, building materials etc.). This information can be used to determine the exposure levels of pollutants for cases when measured information is not available or cannot be modeled due to lack of data.
- Number of households and persons
- Residential floorspace in Europe
- Volume of European residences
- Air exchange rate for European residences
Exposure modifiers
This group of data includes information on .... and can be used for ....
- consumer behaviour (time activity patterns)
- indoor:outdoor ratio
Modelling tools
- Indoor source emission models
- Indoor exposure models
