... Research and development has been supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1990 to investigate the feasibility of using biological methods based on human, animal, or in vitro responses to characterize sources of indoor air emissions. The “bioresponse” methods being...

... Indoor-air models for the transfer of contaminants from tap water to air typically rely on physical properties such as Henry's law constant, diffusion coefficients and so forth, and on roomair exchange rates to determine personal-air concentrations. These models do not address other potential...
