where:

U= Uptake (µg/min)

C amb = ambient concentration (µg/m3)

C alv = alveolar air concentration (µg/m3)

t = time of exposure

V = pulmonary ventilation (l/min)

The amount of chloroform absorbed by subjects regularly attending indoor swimming pools can be calculated applying the uptake formula which takes into account inhalation as the main way of exposure.
