A case study is presented in this paper regarding the fine particulate matter and its carbonaceous compositions in six residential homes in Hong Kong. The characteristics and relationship of Organic Carbon and Elemental Carbon have been discussed indoors and outdoors. A simple model indicated that carbonaceous particles found indoors consist of about 2/3 of outdoor sources and 1/3 of indoor sources.
