Abstract
Emissions of combustion products from unvented kerosene heaters were measure in an exhaust system used to ventilate the units. Measurements of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde and particulates are reported and compared with the results of several other studies. Dilution ventilation requirements to maintain occupational and air quality standards are presented.
