| Abstract: |
Highlights: [•] Wood-burning fireplaces are potential sources of indoor air contaminants. [•] Especially the concentration of ultrafine particles increases during operation. [•] The effects of NO x , CO and CO2 were comparatively small. [•] In addition to the combustion process itself firelighters are a potential source for benzene. [•] In some case increased concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene were measured. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
