Finding F-0696
“The frequency of airing the home in winter (by opening doors or windows) was the strongest predictor of NO2 with an estimated mean increase of 0.018 ppm (95% CI: 0.018, 0.028; p ≤ 0.001) observed when the residence was opened daily, compared to infrequently or never.”
Structure
- Factor
- Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂)
- Intervention
- Natural ventilation
- Setting
- dwelling, AU
- Study design
- cross-sectional measurement study in 111 non-smoking residences in Perth, Western Australia: 24-hour indoor measurement of particulate matter, total volatile organic compounds, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde with a direct-reading monitor, set against building and household characteristics taken from a questionnaire (class 4)
- Effect
- beta 0.018 (0.018–0.028)
- Sample
- 111 homes
- Flags
- implausible
- Caveat
- the printed interval starts at the point estimate (0.018 (0.018, 0.028)), the same in the text and in Table 6, so the lower bound is probably a misprint; the estimate is taken as printed
