Modeling impacts of indoor environmental variables on secondary organic aerosol formation.

There are numerous air pollutants indoors including chemicals emitted from building environments as well as outdoor-origin species due to human activities. Despite the significance of indoor air quality, the atmospheric process indoors is not well studied. In this study, the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the oxidation of α-pinene blended with toluene was simulated under varying indoor environments (lamps, NO, ozone, and inorganic seed) using the UNIfied Partitioning Aerosol Reaction (UNIPAR) model.
