A theoretical model of commuter exposure is presented as a box or cell model with the automobile passenger compartment representing the microenvironment exposed to CO concentrations resulting from vehicle exhaust leaks and emissions from traffic. Equations which describe this situation are developed and discussed. The model is evaluated according to predictive power, explanatory power when compared to a more parsimonious model, and the influence of initial CO concentrations inside a vehicle's passenger compartment. The model is shown to have relatively high predictive power and excellent explanatory power when compared to the more conservative model.
