The risk of exposure of workers to contaminants in indoor spaces is usually assessed by measuring or predicting the level of indoor air concentration in the absence of workers. The amount of contaminant likely to have been inhaled by a worker is then deduced from the value of indoor air concentration obtained at the position [...]
