Meteorological condition and building effects on indoor/outdoor (I/O) air quality in London

The contributions of outdoor pollutant penetration and indoor sources have been proposed to be a major concern of the IAQ exposure. The concentrations of indoor contaminants are often higher than those found outdoors. The biologically relevant exposure time is seldom known, especially for mixtures a...
