dc.description.abstractElectrical heaters are common in homes, day-care centres and offices in Norway and other coldclimate-countries. Indoor dust settling on surfaces of heaters is likely to become heated once the device is switched on. This may lead to a well-known characteristic smell of “burned dust”. Such heating is also likely to occur on other surfaces in the indoor environment, e.g., light fixtures and electrical appliances. This thesis has been a part of the multidisciplinary project “Indoor environment- health effects of aerosols and settled dust”. The project was established in order to characterise the physical and chemical changes of the dust caused by heating (subproject 1) and to investigate the biological effects of indoor dust subjected to heat including the emissions (subproject 2). Two doctoral students and two supervisors (Olav Bjørseth and Tore Syversen) were part of the project group representing the fields of technology and toxicology. Professionals within occupational medicine, chemistry and ventilation were available for advice and discussions. The two subprojects have resulted in two independent, but closely related doctoral theses. Dr.Ing. Ellen Katrine Pedersen completed her thesis ‘Dust in the indoor environment. Physical and chemical changes due to hot surface contact’ in 2001. The present thesis is concerned with the biological effects of indoor dust subjected to heat.nb_NO
