A general mathematical model is presented for predicting concentrations of chemically reactive compounds in indoor air. The model accounts for the effects of ventilation, filtration, heterogeneous removal, direct, and photolytic and thermal chemical reactions. model is applied to the induction of photochemically pollutants into a museum gallery, and the predicted, NOₓ-NO, and O₃ concentrations are compared to measured data. The model predicts substantial production several species due to chemical reaction, including ₂, HNO₃, NO₃, and N₂O₅. Circumstances in which homogeneous chemistry may assume particular importance identified and include buildings with glass walls, indoor combustion sources, and direct emission of olefins.
