Description

This book is a compilation of observations to date on the properties of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) and on concentrations of its constituents in indoor air. It focuses on common natural indoor environments and environments associated with chronic exposure. Attention is also given to measurement methods and to competing sources of indoor air contaminants commonly attributed to ETS.
