The Concentration Database is a data storage for exposure information, especially for volatile organic compounds in air. It is maintained by KTL as a part of the Expoplatform.
Contents
Usage and links to other databases
Information can be searched from the database using the following types of keywords:
- Chemical agent as en:CAS number
- Exposure route (or environmental compartment)
- Country of measurement
The Concentration database has connections to the Result database.
Structure of the database
The dimensions used in the database are the following. There are no other dimensions.
- Chemical agent (CAS#)
- Geographical location (city or country, sometimes more precise)
- Study where measurements were made
- Personal characteristics (such as smoking no/yes)
- Exposure route
- Parameter (statistical parameters about the distribution)
- Period of measurement (typically, the season)
- Household estim. No (what is this?)
Environmental compartments
The used are listed in the Index named Condb_compartment1.
