Population-based human exposure models predict the distribution of personal exposures to pollutants of outdoor origin using a variety of inputs, including: air pollution concentrations; human activity patterns, such as the amount of time spent outdoors vs. indoors, commuting, walking, and indoors at home; microenvironmental infiltration rates, and pollutant removal rates in indoor environments.

Typically, exposure models rely upon ambient air concentration inputs from a sparse network of monitoring stations.

Here we present a unique methodology for combining multiple types of...
