ABSTRACT
The various indoor insecticide diffusion devices used for controlling the adverse effects of adult mosquitoes produce surface deposition and air distribution patterns that can vary sharply in fate, concentration, and kinetics. The influential parameters explaining this variability include the type of device, the time during which it is used, and whether it is employed by trained or untrained individuals. The physicochemical properties of the released insecticide or product mixture are also of first importance. In this chapter, the exposure scenarios and models related to indoor residual spraying, spot spraying in different types of dwellings or in aircraft, as well as following the use of electric vaporizers, insecticide-treated bed nets, mosquito coils, and impregnated 424clothes are reviewed. Gaps in the scenarios and in the modeling processes are identified.
