For that study, the determination of concentration of nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde has been carried out in 96 homes in Quebec city. It appears that NO2 concentrations in homes were positively correlated with air change rates and elevated in homes equipped with gas stoves and Formaldehyde were negatively correlated with air change rates and significantly elevated in homes heated by electrical systems.
