Definition

Data

Description of the data used for obtaining the value of the variable
(e.g. measurement data; mathematical method and its parameters). 
Please include references (preferably using the <ref></ref> tags) and links to original data, as appropriate.

Causality

Model[1]

FINF = Cindoor/Coutdoor = P*a/(a+k)

  • FINF = infiltration efficiency
  • Cindoor = PM concentration in indoor air
  • Coutdoor = PM concentration in outdoor air
  • P = penetration factor
  • a = air exchange (h-1)
  • k = deposition, removal or sorption rate (h-1)


Unit

Formula

Algebra or other explicit methods if possible
(e.g. Analytica code between the <anacode></anacode> delimiters).

Result

If possible, a numerical expression or distribution.
