Indoor Particulate Matter in Rural, Wood Stove Heated Homes

Description
Examines 96 homes in rural Montana, Idaho, and Alaska using wood stoves as the primary source of heating to determine the mass of indoor particulate matter (PM) and particle number concentrations, quantify outdoor PM penetrating the indoor environment, and identify predictors of concentrations and infiltration of outdoor PM. Includes pre-intervention indoor air sampling data by demographic and home characteristics, wood stove and usage, activities in or near the home, and weather.
