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.
DataExposure concentrations for indoor exposureSources and source strengths of indoor air pollutantsHousing, sociological conditions and physiology determining exposuresThis 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 modifiersThis 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 toolsThis 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. |
DocumentsThis section provides documents relevant for indoor exposure. Guidance documentsProject documents
