Three intensive campaigns in spring, summer and winter 2009 where conducted in the Baroque Library Hall in Prague, Czech Republic. The number concentration of particulate matter (PM) was measured online and simultaneously, both indoors and outdoors with an SMPS (0.014-0.7 μm) and an APS instrument (0.7-20 μm). A dynamic mass balance model was introduced taking account particle penetration from outdoors and indoor, losses by deposition, and ventilation. The model was used to determine deposition rate k and penetration efficiency P in 13 discrete size intervals covering the full range of the instruments. Model performance was evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R2) by selecting different pairs of k and P. Averaged values of k and P from the best correlated pairs were used to estimate infiltration factor.
