摘要：

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is often cited as a key factor in indoor air quality (IAQ) and public health. However, there are few studies which attempt to actually calculate the impact ETS has on IAQ or the doses of ETS one may receive from possible exposure in a variety of different settings. This paper reviews the data on indoor air published since 1980 and estimates the portion of various constituents which are produced by ETS. It can be observed that, in most instances, ETS has only a minor impact on IAQ. Retained doses of ETS particles are calculated for various exposure scenarios using respirable particle concentrations associated with ETS, time activity patterns, respiration rates and retention rates. Total doses range from 3-40 mg/y. This dose level does not seem to support the summary relative risk of 1.35 that has been claimed from meta-analyses of epidemiologic studies of spousal smoke exposure and lung cancer
