...Elia M. Sterling; Chris W. Collett; James A. Ross Fixed-location monitoring has been extensively employed to assess exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in offices and other public buildings. In contrast, personal monitoring methods have seldom been used to assess non-smokers’ exposure...

...Raphael J. Witorsch; Philip Witorsch Forty papers on the association between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)exposure of the mother and low birthweight of offspring were examined from the point of view of experimental design, criteria for ETS exposure, sample size, methods of statistical analysis...

...N. El-Hougeiri; M. El Fadel This paper presents an assessment of occupational indoor exposure to air pollutants emitted from environmental tobacco smoke in a public restaurant. Field monitoring data of carbon monoxide (CO) and total suspended particulates (TSP) levels were used to calibrate...

...Sung-Ok Baek; Roger A. Jenkins The objective of this study was to develop and demonstrate a methodology to determine human exposure to a variety of indoor air contaminants by personal monitoring. Target analytes included respirable suspended particulates, components of environmental tobacco smoke...

...Joanna Carrington; Ivan Gee; Adrian Watson; Lorraine Stewart Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is an indoor air pollutant that causes adverse health effects for exposed non-smokers. To measure the ETS concentration particulate tobacco smoke components are identified and are referred to as ETS...

Using unweighted means, the differences were estimated as –0.1752 SDs for fruit, –0.0460 SDs for vegetables, +0.1750 SDs for dietary fat and –0.5174 years for education (n = 11, 17, 14 and 15). Using weighted means the differences were –0.0986 SDs...

...Raphael J. Witorsch; Philip Witorsch This analysis of parental/household smoking (a surrogate for environmental tobacco smoke, ETS) and respiratory symptoms and disease in children updates an earlier analysis. Some 94 studies of preschool children and 152 studies of school-age or older children...

... to question for a few agents evaluated in monographs 39–63, but clearly aligns with the evidence summarised for the great majority. Since monograph 38 in 1986, when the evidence on environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and lung cancer was considered equivocal, IARC staff and associated scientists have published...

...Philip Witorsch Eighteen epidemiology studies have examined the relationship between chronic environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and pulmonary function. A statistically significant relationship between chronic ETS exposure and a specific spirometric endpoint was reported in 5 of 17 studies...
