Characterisation of Urban Air Quality - Indoor/Outdoor Particulate Matter Chemical Characteristics and Source-to-Inhaled Dose Relationships

Modelling: 2001 – 2003
Model comparison with Data

Microenvironmental Modelling

• Modelling using an integrated microenvironmental model including gaseous and aerosol dynamics
  New particle formation, condensation, chemical reactions, resuspension, deposition

• Detailed comparison with observations

  • - Issues: dynamics of photochemical pollutants and fine particles at the indoor environment - contribution of outdoor sources

  • Determine the internal deposition of PM into the human respiratory tract

  - Inhalation model that employs e.g. the Weibel’s generation scheme
  - Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code
