Evaluating The Representativeness Of Atmospheric PM2.5 Data For Indoor Exposure: Insights From Concentrations, Chemical Compositions, And Sources

ScienceDirect.com | This study found that while atmospheric PM2.5 data correlates with indoor air quality, it underrepresents the contribution of crustal elements and construction dust found indoors. Traffic emissions were a consistent source across all environments, but ambient data alone may not fully capture indoor exposure risks.
