Abstract: BackgroundThe objective of this study is to evaluate the risk of exposure to second hand smoke (SHS) during working hours by job status and occupation.MethodsUsing the 4th Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS), 49,674 respondents who answered the question about SHS were studied. A chi-square test was carried out to determine whether there is a significant different in SHS exposure frequency by general and occupational characteristics and experience of discrimination at work and logistic regression analysis w… Show more

“…Furthermore, children and adolescents who cannot control the behavior of smokers or cannot leave the exposed environment have a high risk of SHS exposure [19]. Low socioeconomic levels, including income levels, are also important factors affecting SHS exposure [20], and the SHS exposure also differs depending on the occupational characteristics [21]. Regarding environmental risk factors, rural areas have fewer legislations to ban smoking than urban areas; thus, the former have higher exposure rates than the latter [22].…”
