Occupants are the cause of, and solution to, most residential indoor air quality problems. Thus any comprehensive approach to reduce exposure indoors has to address occupant activities and provide information for occupants to make good decisions. This presentation describes some of the major sources in US homes, including cooking, smoking and e-cigarettes, convenience combustion (e.g., candles), cleaning activities, use of consumer products, resuspension, and outdoor air. Each source is paired with strategies for mitigating exposure from that source. Data from field studies in single family and multifamily residences is used to provide context and specific examples of concentrations and emissions.
