Abstract
Human walking influences indoor air quality by resuspending dust particles that have deposited on the floor. Previous research shows that particle resuspension rates vary over several orders of magnitude because of several influencing factors, such as flooring type, particle type, particle size, absorbing time, and shoe type (Hu et al. 2008; Qian and Ferro, 2008; Zhang et al. 2008). Qian and Ferro (2008) found that person-to-person variability was too large to determine effects of other factors, which indicated that a consistent test mechanism is integral to characterizing particle resuspension effectively.Proceedings Title
