Characteristics of airborne particles emitted from typical indoor combustion sources.

ABSTRACT: Combustion is an important source of indoor emissions, and exposure to combustion emissions not only concerns the quality of life of individuals but also directly affects the overall health level of society. To date, very few studies have examined the size-resolved emission characteristics of airborne particulate matter (PM) emitted from indoor sources. The study examined PM emissions from the specified combustion sources. PM concentrations and emission factors for metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed under identical burning durations. Particle size distributions were determined, and dissolved organic matter (DOM) components were characterized using fluorescence spectroscopy. Health risk assessments were conducted to identify major carcinogenic risks among the e
