Nitrous acid in Albuquerque, New Mexico, homes

The residential concentrations of nitrous acid (HONO) and nitric acid species in relation to nitrogent dioxide concentrations in ten homes in Albuquerque NM were characterized. Investigators of respiratory health effects of unvented combustion should consider HONO as a potentially hazardous indoor p...
