Compilation of tables of surface deposition velocities for O3, NO2 and SO2 to a range of indoor surfaces

Abstract Surface deposition velocities of O 3 , NO 2 and SO 2 were measured in chamber experiments at relative air humidity ranging from 0% to 90% and obtained from literature screening, for a range of material surfaces typically found indoors. The data were compiled in tables comprising 24 material classes and five values of relative air humidity for each gas. Interpolation between data points and extrapolation based on measurements on similar materials were used to fill in the tables where values from measurement were lacking. The tabulated values should be useful in estimating indoor concentrations of these gases when outdoor concentrations are known and there are no indoor sources.
