Scope

Indoor exposure knowledge management system (KMS) that incorporates as much as possible of the information needed in exposure assessments related to indoor environments 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 be 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. The content collected to this page is under the following disclaimer.

Data

Exposure concentrations for indoor exposure

Sources and source strengths of indoor air pollutants

Housing, sociological conditions and physiology 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.

Exposure modifiers

This group of data includes information on exposure modifiers and this kind of data can be used to describe the features that affect to the level of exposure indoors.

Modelling tools

This group includes the modeling tools that can be used for evaluating the levels of indoor exposure. Models can be used for calculating source emissions, concentrations and/or exposure levels.

Documents

This section provides documents relevant for indoor exposure.

Guidance documents

Project documents

  • EnVIE report - Indoor Air Pollution Exposure. The indoor exposure agents reviewed in this report include those, originally selected for EnVIE, namely tobacco smoke, (combustion) particles, carbon monoxide, radon, moisture, moulds and dust mites and VOCs. In addition this report reviews the indoor exposures to the INDEX high priority chemicals, benzene, formaldehyde, naphthalene, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, INDEX second priority chemicals, acetaldehyde, xylenes, toluene and styrene, INDEX chemicals requiring further research (Ammonia), δ-limonene and α-pinene.
