INTERA Indoor exposure knowledge management system

Scope

Indoor exposure knowledge management system that incorporates as much as possible of the information needed in health risk assessments related to indoor air and provides a user-friendly access to that information through this interface. The knowledge management system accommodates the data produced in the previous studies and allows powerful way to utilize the information already available. All content can by updated by anyone providing the possibility to spread the available and newly produced information fast and easily among the various target groups in the field.

Data

• Exposure concentrations for indoor exposure
  • Measured indoor exposure levels
  • Measured outdoor exposure levels
  • Concentrations in consumer products
  • Biomonitoring data

• Indoor exposure sources
  • Sources
  • Source strengths

• Housing and sociological conditions determining exposures

• Exposure modifiers:
  • consumer behaviour (time activity patterns)
  • ambient air levels of indoor air contaminants
  • indoor:outdoor ratio and the corresponding air exchange rates

Modelling tools

• Indoor source emission models

• Indoor exposure models
