Abstract

This paper investigates the indoor effects of an outdoor gas cloud. This is done by using a simple model for transport of toxic gas from outdoor to indoor. The results indicate that while the outdoor effect depends on the product of the cloud passage time and the concentration to some power (e.g. 2.75) the indoor effect of the same cloud depends only on the product of cloud passage time and the concentration. This makes the indoor effect calculation by using models much less sensitive to the outdoor concentration and the power used. The law applies under a wide range of practical conditions.
