Rule of 1000

Air researchers talk about the Rule of 1,000: anything released indoors is about 1,000 times more likely to be breathed in than something released outdoors.

“It doesn’t take a lot of something released indoors to cause exposure,” said Dr. Kirk Smith, a professor of global environmental health at the University of California, Berkeley. “Even in California, which has among the strictest controls on smoking and among the lowest smoking rates in an industrial country, a significant fraction of total pollution exposure is from smoking.”
