Abstract
This paper describes analyses of levels of NO 2 measured during 1983–1984 in New York City residential apartments with gas cooking stoves. In each apartment, consecutive 48-hour concentrations were obtained for periods of four weeks. Mean hourly kitchen NO 2 levels varied from 47 μg/m 3 to 237 μg/m 3. Day-to-day variability in NO 2 levels within apartments showed considerable disparity from apartment to apartment in some seasons, but was fairly consistent in the others. Overall data indicate that kitchen levels of NO 2 were influenced primarily by factors within the apartments and, to a much lesser extent, by factors associated with the calendar day of monitoring. Finally, high correlations between NO 2 levels in different rooms within the same apartment were found.
