Table 1:

Overview of exposure chamber experiments. The four left columns indicate the parameters whose effects we studied: puff time tpuff, period T, power P and air exchange rate Qex. The three right columns show the mean (standard deviation) of the model parameters used to describe measured time-dependent aerosol levels: characteristic time τ, steady-state concentration cmax, and initial slope dc/dt |t=0.

Power output P of the cigalike is unknown.

For the experiments in which aerosol levels increased linearly and not approaching a plateau, τ and cmax could not be determined.
