Working group 2

What do existing measurement and model results reveal about indoor air chemistry?

Key objective:

To use existing outdoor air quality expertise and develop it for use indoors.
In order to achieve this objective, the following tasks will be carried out through reviews of existing studies, with the results presented at the second workshop in month 12:
1. A review of outdoor measurement and modelling results to date to understand:
a) What have been the key challenges for outdoor air chemistry field campaigns? This will include challenges with the the instrumentation and models, as well as climatic variation (e.g. temperature, humidity)
b) How have these been overcome?
c) What is the best way to understand the sources, transformations and sinks of air pollutants and how can this knowledge be applied to mitigation?
2. Identification of relevant areas of indoor research for outdoor community

Milestones and Deliverables:

Month 1: Start-up workshop (Workshop 1) for all participants of the network
Month 6: Progress meeting
Month 12: Workshop 2; Recommendations for WGs3-4 based on outdoor research (D4)
Month 12: Summary of indoor air chemistry research for outdoor air chemistry community (D5)
