Quantitative filter forensics with residential HVAC filters to assess indoor concentrations.

abstract：:This study involved the development of a model for evaluating the potential costs and benefits of ozone control by activated carbon filtration in single-family homes. The modeling effort included the prediction of indoor ozone with and without activated carbon filtration in the HVAC system. As one application, the mod...
