Problem
In a poorly ventilated hut in a third world country, logs are burnt to supply heat for cooking purposes. The total volume of the hut is 1000 m3. Log burning releases CO at the rate of 2 mg/h. The air exchange rate is 0.1 h-1.
(a) What is the CO concentration after 2 h of cooking inside the hut?
(b) Compare the steady-state indoor CO concentration with the U.S. ambient air quality criteria of 0.05 ppmv.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
