Harm from Residential Indoor Air Contaminants.
in Environmental science & technology
| Description | We have developed a model of the UK housing stock that we can use to predict exposure to contaminants emitted by cooking. We have also developed a method to identify the harm caused per unit of concentration. This will be used to estimate the harm caused by exposure to ontaminants emitted by cooking. |
| Exploitation Route | We expect the work to inform English, Welsh, and Scottish building regulations, specifically the ventilation provision in kitchens. If implemented, we expect the consequence to be a reduction in respiratory harm in the UK population. |
