The tobacco smoke contribution to indoor air pollution has been studied by analyses of nicotine and the mutagenic response of particulate matter col lected with portable personal samplers during visits to public places. In a com parison between two shopping malls with different smoking policies, the con centration of indicator components was higher in a mall where smoking was allowed than in a mall where smoking was not allowed except in cafeterias. A special study of a restaurant showed that the air of its nonsmoking section contained tobacco smoke as the ventilation air was drawn from the smoking area into the nonsmoking area. The mutagenic response of particulate matter was in all cases higher in indoor air than in ambient outdoor air whenever tobacco smoke was present in the indoor air. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
