| Περίληψη: | A persistent disconnect exists between epidemiological studies emphasising long-term health effects and exposure assessments relying on short-term measurements, as well as between health responses linked to outdoor (ambient) concentrations versus translation of that to indoor or personal environments. To fill these gaps, we developed an extrapolation method to estimate annual personal exposure to air pollutants from outdoor sources, including fine particles, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and black carbon, using measurements from personal exposure campaigns. The methodology accounts for (a) hourly variations in background ambient concentrations, (b) magnitude and variation in infiltration efficiency, (c) adjustment for microenvironments, and (d) individual time activity patterns. Longer measurement periods appeared to be associated with greater agreement and lower variability between measurement-period and annually extrapolated estimates of personal exposure to PM (Copyright © 2026 The Author(s).
