✦ Synopsis

Indoor NO 2 concentrations were measured in the kitchen, the living room and bedroom of 612 houses in two different areas in the Netherlands. In a group of housewives living in these homes, personal exposure to NO 2 was measured. NO 2 concentrations indoors were dependent on the presence or absence of (un)vented gas appliances. Personal NO 2 exposure was only different between the two areas in the group with the lowest indoor concentrations. In this study, it was determined that gas appliances inside the house are the most important factor with respect to NO 2 exposure and that outside NO 2 concentration played a secondary role, except in situations where gas appliances were absent.
