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.
