The overall goal of the work was to determine the most important relationships between the physical parameters, indoor-outdoor locations, and personal activities. The individual objectives supporting that goal were: (1) Complete the chemical analysis of the nicotine filters and the tracer gas passive samplers (to measure air exchange rates); (2) Determine correlations among the physical and chemical parameters; (3) Statistically analyze relations between the parameters and indoor-outdoor locations and personal activities; (4) Identify the most important sources of indoor particles, elements, nicotine, PAHs, and phthalates; and (5) Use a physical model to determine decay rates, penetration cofficients, and source strengths for those sources identified in (4) for particles, elements, PAHs, and phthalates.
