comprehensive simulation of particulate matter concentration in households 

Speaker: Simon o'meara

Chair(S): Maria Russo

wednesday 5th november, 13:00-14:00

ABSTRACT

Since the home micro-environment is a major contributor to most people's exposure to particulate matter, an accurate computational model of particulate matter in homes would be a very valuable tool for effectively identifying methods to reduce exposure. To evaluate the model's accuracy requires observations that cover the quite complex happenings of homes, and such data is provided by the measurements and diaries of the INGENIOUS project. Furthermore, published literature provide a guide to the emission rates of particle- and gas-phase species during household activities. In this talk, these data sources are brought together to evaluate the PyCHAM model for household particulate matter, and in turn, demonstrate a method for identifying the key drivers in this important micro-environment. 

A regular series of streamed online seminars.  The aim of the seminar series is to offer easy-to-access and interactive online seminars designed to share latest thinking and good practice, and exchange ideas, tools and processes. We envisage the seminar series will become an exciting vehicle that helps to encourage free flowing dialogue and collaboration right across the NCAS community. Seminars can have a science focus or be used to share anything that may be of professional interest to the NCAS community.

Seminars will take place every other Wednesday at 13:00.  Seminars are hosted on Google Meet to join follow the link
