Indoor, outdoor, and regional summer and winter concentrations of PM (sub)10, PM (sub)2.5, SO (sub)4 (super)2-, H+, NH (sub)4+, NO (sub)3-, NH (sub)3, and nitrous acid in homes with and without kerosene space heaters

Article Abstract:

Research presented concerns the levels of sulfate, nitrate, ammonia, nitrous acid, sulfur dioxide, and other air particle pollution outside and inside homes in the summer and winter months. Findings reveal homes that use kerosene heaters results in an increase of air pollution particles.
