Single-Zone Simulations Using FaTIMA for Reducing Aerosol Exposure in Educational Spaces

April 8, 2021
Author(s)
Lisa Ng, Dustin Poppendieck, Brian Polidoro, William Stuart Dols, Steven Emmerich, Andrew K. Persily
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a global pandemic. Following this announcement, school closures around the United States began, and starting in June 2020, many schools decided to reopen

Reference materials for building product emission characterization

December 19, 2020
Author(s)
Dustin Poppendieck, Wenjuan Wei, Mengyan Gong
Building products contain chemical compounds, such as volatile organic compounds, which can be emitted into indoor air and result in human exposures in the indoor environment. The emission rate, commonly measured in environmental chambers, is a key

Assessing Human Exposure to Chemicals in Materials, Products and Articles: A Modular Mechanistic Framework

December 15, 2020
Author(s)
Clara M. Eichler, Ying Xu, Jianping Cao, Charles J. Weschler, Tunga Salthammer, Glenn C. Morrison, Yinping Zhang, Corinne Mandin, Wenjuan Wei, Patrice Blondeau, Dustin Poppendieck, Elaine A. Cohen Hubal, Xiaoyu Liu, Christiaan Delmaar, Antti J. Koivisto, Oliver Jolliet, Hyeong-Moo Shin, Miriam L. Diamond, Chenyang Bi, John C. Little
This paper describes a modular mechanistic framework for predicting chemical emission from indoor sources, partitioning among indoor compartments and exposure to humans present in the indoor environment focusing on semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs)

Simulation of controls for reducing aerosol exposure in educational spaces using FaTIMA

September 1, 2020
Author(s)
Lisa C. Ng, Dustin G. Poppendieck, Brian J. Polidoro, William S. Dols, Steven J. Emmerich, Andrew K. Persily
Results from FaTIMA are presented, which is a recently developed, web-based front end to the CONTAM simulation engine, ContamX. We will introduce the model capabilities, user inputs, and results generated. We will then present the use of the tool in

A Tool to Model the Fate and Transport of Indoor Microbiological Aerosols (FaTIMA)

June 1, 2020
Author(s)
William S. Dols, Brian J. Polidoro, Dustin G. Poppendieck, Steven J. Emmerich
The web-based tool Fate and Transport of Indoor Microbiological Aerosols (FaTIMA) allows for the determination of the indoor fate of microbiological aerosols associated with ventilation, filtration, deposition and inactivation mechanisms. FaTIMA provides a

Chemical emission rates from cigarette butts into air

January 18, 2020
Author(s)
Mengyan Gong, Nicholas Daniels, Dustin G. Poppendieck
Globally, over five trillion cigarette butts are generated every year, resulting in potential environmental and human risks. However, little attention has been paid to airborne emission from cigarette butts. This study measured airborne emissions from

Measurement of Airborne Emissions from Extinguished Cigarettes: Final Report

December 16, 2019
Author(s)
Dustin G. Poppendieck
Three series of experiments were conducted in this study. First, studies were performed to the determine the relative distributions of the target chemicals in freshly smoked butts by analyzing six types of samples consisting of different parts of the butts

Evaluation of Formaldehyde Reference Material for Chamber Emission Testing

July 22, 2018
Author(s)
Dustin G. Poppendieck, Na Li, Wenhao Chen
Formaldehyde reference materials are being developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for use in regulatory emission testing certification programs. Emission rates for a prototype formaldehyde reference material were determined

Simmering Sauces! Elevated Formaldehyde Concentrations from Gas Stove Burners

July 22, 2018
Author(s)
Dustin G. Poppendieck, Mengyan Gong
Formaldehyde is listed as a human carcinogen, and can be formed as a primary by-product during combustion processes. Past studies have not detected elevated formaldehyde concentrations from gas stoves, perhaps due to the time averaging nature of previous

Ventilation, IAQ and Filtration in a Net Zero Energy House

May 24, 2018
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Lisa C. Ng, Dustin G. Poppendieck, Steven J. Emmerich
The Net Zero Energy Residential Test Facility (NZERTF) was constructed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the development and adoption of cost-effective net zero energy designs and technologies. The 250 m2 two-story

Balancing Energy and IAQ: NIST Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

April 18, 2018
Author(s)
Lisa C. Ng, Dustin G. Poppendieck, William S. Dols, Brian P. Dougherty, Steven J. Emmerich
Buildings used 39 % of all energy used in the United States in 2017, with residential buildings and commercial buildings accounting for 20 % and 19% (EIA 2018) respectively. Zero energy buildings have the potential to help extend and accelerate the recent

Evaluation of a Formaldehyde Emissions Reference Material

September 5, 2017
Author(s)
Dustin Poppendieck, Mengyan Gong
The development and use of low-volatile organic compounds (VOCs) building materials and products is a key strategy to reduce ventilation and energy use in buildings while preserving the health and sustainability of the indoor environment. Labelling and
