“…Therefore, it is specific for the assessment of the ETS contribution to RSP Jenkins et al, 2000;Douce et al, 2001). The use of all the three markers rests on the application of factors to derive the particulate matter concentrations from the measured data (Nelson et al, , 1998. As solanesol is in itself descriptive of the ETS level in the environment, its concentration values were reported in addition to the Sol-PM levels.…”

“…The extract was injected into an HPLC equipped with a UV detector and a fluorescence detector in series, and connected directly to an autosampler by short tubing. The readings were expressed as equivalent concentrations of surrogate standards (2,2 0 ,4,4 0 -tetrahydroxybenzophenone for UV and scopoletin for fluorescence), and converted to UVPM and FPM concentrations using conversion factors (Conner et al, 1990;Nelson et al,1997Nelson et al, , 1998ASTM, D 5955-96, 1996). The air concentration of solanesol was determined by HPLC analysis of the same extract .…”

“…The air concentration of solanesol was determined by HPLC analysis of the same extract . In addition to reporting solanesol levels, these results were used to derive a selective estimate of the concentration of particulate matter originating from ETS (Sol-PM) using conversion factors (Nelson et al, , 1998ASTM, D 6271-98, 1998).…”

During a pilot study of indoor air quality in restaurants, a survey was performed in 34 medium-priced restaurants in six countries in Asia, Europe, and North America using a uniform protocol. The concentration of selected constituents of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) present in occupied areas was determined during lunch and dinner periods by measuring the levels of four particulate-phase markers and two gas-phase markers. The particulatephase markers determined were respirable suspended particles, ultraviolet particulate matter, fluorescing particulate matter, and solanesol particulate matter. The gas-phase markers were nicotine and 3-ethenylpyridine (3-EP). Correlation between the markers was investigated to explore an improved monitoring approach. It was concluded that at least one marker in each phase was necessary to describe adequately the ETS load. An assessment was made of the ventilation system in each restaurant, and effective ventilation rates were determined based on CO 2 measurements. Smoking activity was also monitored. These data were used to model nicotine and 3-EP concentrations that resulted in a satisfactory prediction of their levels, especially at the higher concentrations. A total number of 1370 questionnaires were returned by the restaurant patrons in five countries. In some countries, dissatisfaction rates above 20% were observed for draft, freshness of air, and noise. The dissatisfaction rates related to tobacco smoke were less than 20%, which is lower than would be predicted based on measured ETS levels. Based on the results of this international pilot study, recommendations are given for future studies of this type.

“…The factors used in this study to convert the concentrations of surrogate standards and solanesol into an equivalent concentration of ETS particulates were 7.0, 38.2 and 35.5 for UVPM, FPM and solanesol-related particulate matter (SolPM). These factors were obtained specifically for Korean cigarettes by a recent study [8].…”

“…However, such direct determinations of personal exposure to ETS have been limited to relatively small numbers of studies [9][10][11][12], largely due to their complexity and required involvement of volunteers. Moreover, very few studies [7,8] have been carried out to determine the personal exposure to VOCs in relation to ETS. This study was carried out to develop and demonstrate a personal sampling methodology for the simultaneous determination of human exposure to a variety of indoor air contaminants, including respirable suspended particulates (RSPs), ETS components and VOCs.…”

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 (ETS) and a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A total of 60 non-smoking, non-occupational residents at homes in metropolitan Taegu, Korea, were recruited for this study. The subjects were classified into two groups, i.e. subjects living in homes with smokers and without smokers. Seasonal air samples were collected using three-channel personal samplers for each subject in two phases over a 24-hour period, i.e. awake time and sleeping time separately. Performance of sampling and analytical methods used for the simultaneous measurements of ETS and VOCs were evaluated with respect to sensitivity, repeatability and field application.
