Parental smoking and children's respiratory health: independent effects of prenatal and postnatal exposure. [PDF]

, 2006
OBJECTIVES: Adverse effects have been reported of prenatal and/or postnatal passive exposure to smoking on children's health. Uncertainties remain about the relative importance of smoking at different periods in the child's life. We investigate this in a

Different genes interact with particulate matter and tobacco smoke exposure in affecting lung function decline in the general population [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress related genes modify the effects of ambient air pollution or tobacco smoking on lung function decline. The impact of interactions might be substantial, but previous studies mostly focused on main effects of single genes ...

An Environmental Chamber Study of the Characteristics of Air Pollutants Released from Environmental Tobacco Smoke

Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2012
Environment tobacco smoke (ETS) is an important source of anthropogenic pollution in indoor environments. This research reports an environmental chamber study of pollutants released from ETS generated by smoking cigarettes in the chamber. Six cigarettes samples sold in Hong Kong and China were characterized.

Indoor Air Quality Pollution of PM2.5 and Associated Trace Elements Affected by Environmental Tobacco Smoke [PDF]

Journal of Korean Society of Environmental Engineers, 2014
Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) samples were collected separately in mainstream and side-stream smoke using a self-designed smoking machine, and a total 40 of PM2.5 was collected with low volume air sampler at indoor environments with and without ETS in Daejeon, Korea. About 20 trace elements including toxic metals like As, Cr, Mn, Se, V, and Zn were
