Fig. 1

(A and B) Aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) species average contributions (A) and histogram of hourly I/O ratio (B) for all reported chemical species. Values less than 1 indicate loss from outdoor to indoor transport and weak or absent indoor sources, whereas values greater than 1 indicate a source in the indoor environment. Sulfate is a proxy for nonvolatile particle loss from outdoor to indoor transport. HOA, hydrocarbon-like organic aerosol; OOA, oxygenated organic aerosol; COA, cooking organic aerosol.
