The results of the first European multi-centre study that measured ETS exposure in a range of public places (transport, educational settings, and leisure facilities such as bars and restaurants) are presented.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Method:<\/jats:bold>Nicotine vapour phase was measured using ETS passive samplers containing a filter treated with sodium bisulfate.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>Bars and discos are the places with the highest concentrations of nicotine from ETS, median ranging from 19 to 122 \u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>. Restaurants had the next highest values. Concentrations of nicotine generally range from 0.1\u20135 \u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>in airports, and from 0.5\u201310 \u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>in train stations.

The study also showed that in areas where smoking is prohibited, concentrations of nicotine are lower than in areas where smoking is allowed but they are not zero. The results of this study indicate that policies should be implemented that would effectively reduce levels of tobacco smoke in public areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.2004.008581","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,26]],"date-time":"2005-02-26T00:23:43Z","timestamp":1109377423000},"page":"60-63","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["Environmental tobacco smoke exposure in public places of European cities"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"M","family":"Nebot","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"M J","family":"L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"G","family":"Gorini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"M","family":"Neuberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"S","family":"Axelsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"M","family":"Pilali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"C","family":"Fonseca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"K","family":"Abdennbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"A","family":"Hackshaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"H","family":"Moshammer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"A M","family":"Laurent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"J","family":"Salles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"M","family":"Georgouli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"M C","family":"Fondelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"E","family":"Serrahima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"F","family":"Centrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"S K","family":"Hammond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024051409143442000_14.1.60.1","unstructured":"International Agency for Research on Cancer.
