During winter time, the central heating system in my flat isn't really enough to keep me warm so I use two extra oil heaters. My landlord is hasn't got around to installing carbon monoxide alarms in my flat yet and the oil heaters start to produce 1g/hr CO each. My flat floor area is 40 m with a ceiling height™-3m. a. If I leave all my windows shut how long will it take to reach an unsafe concentration? (6 marks) b. The concentration gets to around 20,000 micrograms/m3 and I start to feel a little dizzy so I decide to turn on my ventilation (which provides 0.5 air changes per hour). What steady state concentration will it eventually get to in my flat? (5 marks) c. I'm still not feeling very good, so I switch off the heaters and leave the ventilation running... how long before safe concentration levels are reached? (8 marks) d. In up to 10 sentences, describe the assumptions and limitations of your modelling in this question and if/how it could be improved. (6 marks)
