Abstract
Concentration of air pollutants has generally been considered uniform in indoor environments. Here, the authors show that chlorinated cleaning products generate concentration gradients of pollutants due to photochemical reactions in sunlit areas, requiring a finer assessment of human exposure to these contaminants.
