Emissions from the Human Body
Gaseous polutants emissions from human bodies.
Some typical gaseous emissions from the human body:
- Acetaldehyde: 3.5 10-8 g/h
- Acetone: 4.8 10-7 g/h
- Ammonia: 1.6 10-5 g/h
- Carbon dioxide: 3.2 10-2 g/h
- Carbon monoxide: 1 10-5 g/h
- Hydrogen sulfide: 1.5 10-8 g/h
- Methane: 1.7 10-6 g/h
- Methanol: 6 10-9 g/h
- Toluene: 2.3 10-8 g/h
- 1 g/h = 1 10-3 kg/h = 2.2 10-3 lb/h
