Abstract

In 15 homes, the indoor NO2 concentration was measured repeatedly during 1 yr, to obtain estimates of within-home and between-home variability. Diffusion tubes were used to measure weekly average concentrations in the kitchen, living room and bedroom of each home, once every two weeks. The results indicate that in all seasons except summer, the NO2 concentrations within locations within homes were stable and that between homes, indoor concentrations were systematically different. This information is important for the evaluation of health effect studies in which indoor NO2 concentrations are used as a measure of exposure.
