Abstract

This report investigates the current distribution of low-level CO concentrations in the English housing stock, and prevalence of dwellings exceeding recommended background exposure levels, using advanced modelling techniques informed by empirical data from a number of disparate sources. By bringing these sources of data together in the models, it is possible to produce new insights into the variation in background CO exposure across dwelling types and geographical location. The model also considers the impact on indoor domestic CO concentrations of the application of energy efficiency measures on the same stock. Although the health effects of long-term low-level CO exposure are still uncertain, this report provides evidence for further discussion and research. There are a number of assumptions listed within the main report, that drive the results. These should be taken into consideration when interpreting outcomes.
