The building
has a floor area of 140 m2 and a volume of 340 m3. During the tests, a gas
stovetop burner/oven was operated in the kitchen, while size-resolved
particle concentrations were measured in themaster bedroom. This location
was chosen to represent general occupant exposure to UFP during
cooking and to avoid fluctuating and non-uniform concentrations in the
kitchen. During the tests, the central forced air fan was continuously running,
re-circulating approximately six house volumes of air per hour in
the house, with all interior doors and ventilation system registers open.
