Numerical studies were performed to evaluate a new method for human exposure assessment and source monitoring, based upon optical remote sensing (ORS) and computed tomography (CT). With an ORS-CT system, two-dimensional maps of chemical concentrations in air, with good spatial and temporal resolution, can be created over a confined space such as a workplace room. The ORS-CT system was evaluated using 15 simulated test maps that model the generation and dispersion of contaminant plumes over time. A program simulated field measurements from these maps assuming different remote sensing scan times.
