Personal exposures to respirable particulates and implications for air pollution epidemiology

Measurements of personal exposures to respirable particles (RSP) were obtained from nonsmoking adults in two rural Tennessee communities. Personal exposures were higher than and were uncorrelated with outdoor concentrations. Household smoking was a substantial contributor to personal rsp exposure. A...

Zusammenfassung:Measurements of personal exposures to respirable particles (RSP) were obtained from nonsmoking adults in two rural Tennessee communities. Personal exposures were higher than and were uncorrelated with outdoor concentrations. Household smoking was a substantial contributor to personal rsp exposure. A deterministic model based on time spent in four microenvironments and measured concentrations explained 64% of the variance in personal exposure.
