ppb, parts per billion; TWA, time-weighted average.

a Low wind ranged from 3.75 to 26.8 m min−1.

b Small surface areas ranged from 25.8 to 232.3 cm2 and medium surface areas ranged from 412.9 to 929.0 cm2.

c Low ACH ranged from 1 to 3, medium ranged from 3 to 6 ACH.

d The near field small room size was 0.76, 0.76, and 1 m (2.5 by 2.5 by 3.3 ft). The far field small room size was 3 × 3 × 3 m (27 m3) and the far field large room size was 5 × 5 × 5 m (125 m3).
