Summary

This small-scale project aims to characterise the ventilation and air tightness status of selected dwellings. Air exchange rate measurements were carried out at selected periods over a week-long period, during which PM concentrations were monitored in the same dwellings. The data generated captures some of the variability in airflow patterns in naturally ventilated dwellings due to variations in meteorological conditions, and the data can then be used to parameterise computational models for PM exposure.

The Aerosol Society recognises the importance of our diverse community and believe that to produce the best quality science we must encourage a proactive and inclusive approach to equality. This can be achieved by developing and retaining a diverse range of talented people to achieve their full potential free from discrimination. We acknowledge our role in engaging with the wider aerosol science community to develop a fair and friendly environment by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion for all, recognising that we come from varying backgrounds and experiences.
