Abstract
The indoor environment provides unique surfaces and lighting conditions which affect the photochemistry taking place there. As indoor illumination sources typically output wavelengths too long to affect gas phase photochemistry, the potential for surface photochemistry induced by indoor light sources has been mostly unexplored. In this proof of concept study, we report the emission of gas phase nitrogen oxides as a product of the illumination of glass surfaces coated with nitrate-doped TiO2 and nitratedeposited on indoor paint, using a variety of common indoor light sources. Fluorescent, incandescent, halogen, and LED lights were studied, and a xenon lamp was used for baseline measurements. NOx was emitted from all samples, thus establishing that renoxification can occur in indoor environments. NO2 (g) was the predominant species emitted from samples coated with nitrate-doped TiO2, and NO (g) was the predominant species emitted from nitrate-deposited painted glass surfaces. It was also found that heating from the light sources had no effect on the production of NOx. This preliminary study establishes the potential for heterogeneous photochemistry to occur on real indoor surfaces and opens the way for further research to be conducted under realistic indoor conditions.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
