Human exposure to chloroform in indoor swimming pools has been recognized as a potential health concern. Although environmental monitoring is a useful technique to investigate chloroform concentrations in indoor swimming-pool air, in practice, the interpretations of measured data would inevitably run into difficulties due to the complex interactions among the numerous variables, including environmental conditions and occupant activities. Considering of the relevant variables of environmental conditions and occupant activities, a mathematical model was first proposed to predict the chloroform concentration in indoor swimming-pool air. The developed model provides a straightforward, conceptually simple way to predict the indoor air chloroform concentration by calculating the mass flux, J, and the Péclet number, Pe, and by using a heuristic value of the indoor airflow recycle ratio, R. The good agreement between model simulation and measured data demonstrates the feasibility of using the presented model for indoor air quality management, operational guidelines and health-related risk assessment.
人类在室内游泳池接触氯仿已被视为一个潜在的健康问题。尽管环境监测是调查室内游泳池空气中氯仿浓度的一种有用技术，但在实际中，由于众多变量（包括环境条件和使用者活动）之间的复杂相互作用，实测数据的解释不可避免地会遇到困难。考虑到环境条件和使用者活动的相关变量，首次提出了一个数学模型来预测室内游泳池空气中的氯仿浓度。所开发的模型提供了一种直接、概念简单的方法，通过计算质量通量J和佩克莱数Pe，并使用室内气流循环比R的经验值来预测室内空气中氯仿浓度。模型模拟与实测数据之间的良好一致性证明了使用所提出的模型进行室内空气质量管理、操作指南和健康相关风险评估的可行性。
