the transport mechanisms of VOCs and SVOCs between sources, air, particles, and interior surfaces in residential environment will help to characterize human exposures, develop/refine source-to-exposure-to-dose models, and develop strategies that enlighten
risk assessments and policy decisions to minimize exposures and to protect human health. The research will support exposure models by providing chemical concentrations, emission rates, and other parameters, such as mass transfer coefficient, diffusion coefficient,
and partition coefficient, as part of the basic model input.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
