This research aims to better understand the distribution of mobile BFRs in residential, commercial and industrial buildings and to estimate emissions from urban sources into ambient air that may ultimately be deposited into the Great Lakes region

This plot contrasts levels of BFRs in settled dust in homes, garages and cars.
