Description/Abstract This paper discusses a study of particulate and organic emissions from unvented kerosene heaters in a test house.^Results from the test house are compared with those from large (room size) chambers, using EPA`s indoor-air-quality (IAQ) model.^In the test house, unvented kerosene-heater particulate emissions were collected on Teflon-coated glass-fiber filters.^Organic emissions were trapped on Tenax-GC and XAD-2 sorbents, and the organic compounds were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.^Target compounds were then quantified.^CO, CO2, and SO2 were monitored during each test.^Weather data were also collected for correlation with emissions and house-characterization data.^The test house is a typical three-bedroom, two-bath, single-story frame house with crawl space.^It has natural-gas heat and electric central air conditioning.^The house is 8 years old and has the energy-efficiency features of homes built during the early 1980s.
