Abstract

The present work deals with the investigation of uncertainties related to personal exposure assessment using a breathing thermal manikin subject to a partly uniform velocity field in a wind channel. Several parameters are investigated: velocity level, thermal manikin heat flux, Archimedes number, incident flow angle, and contaminant source location. Substantial variance is detected and it is found that the parameters may influence the personal exposure substantially with a factor of approximately 10. Small variation of the contaminant source location (± 5 cm) may influence the result approximately ± 30%. In general uncertainty and sensitivity are substantial and should be investigated and reported.
