TL;DR: The number of people exposed to environmental tobacco smoke in California seems to have decreased over the same time period, where exposure is determined by the reported time spent with a smoker.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficiency of kriging estimation for square, triangular, and hexagonal grids
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the geometrical relationship of three sampling designs, namely the square, the equilateral triangle, and the regular hexagon, and compared the maximum mean square error for each of these designs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling indoor air concentrations near emission sources in imperfectly mixed rooms.
TL;DR: This project systematically studied the concentrations of a tracer gas at various distances from its emission source in a controlled-environment, room-size chamber under a variety of ventilation conditions and found that the resulting model provides a more realistic simulation of exposure concentrations than does the well mixed model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of an optimum air monitoring network for exposure assessments
TL;DR: In this paper, an air quality simulation model is used to produce representative air quality patterns, which are then combined with population patterns to obtain typical exposure patterns, and these combined patterns are used to determine "figures of merit" for each potential monitoring sites, which were used to identify and rank the most favorable sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of meteorology on the atmospheric dispersion of toxic chemicals in a river valley
TL;DR: In this paper, the average benzene concentrations were shown to correlate with the average wind speed and the morning and evening potential temperature gradients at the airport, with a correlation coefficient on the order of 0.5.
