EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT IN PASSIVE SMOKING

introduction
There are currently no direct measures of the dose of ETS
absorbed in a population under study; however, exoosures to ETS
can be assessed by personal air contaminant monitoring, modeling
of concentrations (based on air sampling, time activity patterns,
and questionnaires), or biological markers. (NRC, 1986) Exposure
to ETS is determined by the following paradigm: exposure equals
the product of respiration rate, concentration, and duration.
concentration is directly proportional to the product of number
of smokers, smoking rate, and emissions per tobacco product, and
is inversely proportional to the product of space volume and
removal rate. The nonsmokers' total exposure to ETS is determined
by the product of the time-weighted sum of the concentrations
encountered in various microenvironments, and the individual's
respiration rate during exposure. (IARC, 1987)
In the epidemiologic studies of passive smoking and lung
cancer described under Hazard Assessment, exposures were
estimated on the basis of a questionnaire which assesses smoking
status, and typically asked simple questions of the sort: "if you
are a nonsmoker, do you live with, or work with, or have regular
contact with persons who are nonsmokers?" (NRC, 1986) Some
studies assessed past exposure history and spouses' smoking rate
as well. This kind of question, though useful, is not likely to
be fully reliable or precise, particularly for non-domestic
exposures. (NRC, 1986; IARC, 1987) On the other hand, it has
been shown that those nonsmokers who report exposure to ETS at
home tend to have higher non-domestic exposures as well.(NRC,
1986; Wald, 1986)
Ideally, the health effects of ETS exposures might be assessed
by quantifying the time-dependent exposures and doses for each of
the several thousand compounds in tobacco smoke and defining
dose-response relationships for these compounds in producing
disease, both as isolated compounds and in various combinations.
However, the enormity of this task has led to simpler approaches
which attempt to use measures of exposure to individual smoke
constituents as estimates of whole smoke exposure. For this
reason, exposures to ETS are often assessed using markers of the

microenvironments each year from cigarette smoking alone.
Assuming cigars produce 3 times as much RSP as cigarettes and
that pipes produce as much RSP as a cigarette, (Repace and
Lowrey, 1982) where pipes and hand-rolled cigarettes are assumed
to contain 1 q of tobacco, then all cigars are estimated to
contribute as much RSP indoors as 11 billion cigarettes, while
all pipes and hand-rolled cigarettes are estimated to contribute
as much as 15 billion regular cigarettes, increasing the
estimated total RSP generated in US indoor microenvironments from
all cigarettes, pipes, and cigars to nearly 13,000 metric tons
per year. As exemplified by data from EPA's TEAM study, ETS
predominates over other sources of RSP indoors (see Fig. 3.)
Although the percentage of the population that smokes has
declined from nearly 50% in the 1960's to about 30%-presently
(0SH,1988), the percent of smokers who are heavy smokers has
increased steadily over the past 30 years; thus although the
percentage of smokers has gone down, the increase in smoking rate
may tend to offset that trend towards lowering nonsmoker exposure
to ETS.(NRC,1986).
B. Indoor air transport of LTs
Nonsmokers are exposed to ETS in indoor spaces. The
determinants of these enclosed-space exposures include smoking
occupancy, source air-contaminant emission characteristics,
source use, building characteristics, space volume, infiltration
or ventilation rates, efficiency of air mixing, surface sorption,
chemical transformation, and the efficiency of air cleaning
equipment. The interaction of these variables in determining the
resultant concentrations of ETS has been evaluated in both
controlled laboratory settings and in field studies within the
theoretical framework of the mass-balance equation. The mass-
balance equation may be applied to tobacco smoke either as an
equilibrium model (time-independent) or as a dynamic model (time-
dependent). Dynamic and equilibrium models are useful in
laboratory studies; equilibrium models are best suited to
evaluating and predicting ETS concentrations in field studies,
particularly when average concentrations over a period of days or
longer are of interest. (NRC,1986)
Laboratory and field studies typically utilize some form of a
single-compartment equilibrium model to evaluate the input
parameters of the mass-balance equation, to evaluate field study
data, and to project RSP concentrations from ETS indoors. These
studies have reduced the general single-compartment mass-balance
equation to the following simplified form:
Cp - G(m(N. + N.)V] ~ (1),
where Cp is the equilibrium concentration of ETS-generated RSP
in a space, expressed in units of micrograms per cubic meter
81

smokers are present, and also are based on the room density of
habitual smokers (number of habitual smokers per 100 cubic
meters). Thus, the presence of a typical or "habitual" smoker
(i.e., one who is assumed to smoke at an average rate of 2
cigarettes per hour at 10 minutes per cigarette, with an emission
factor of about 22 mg of SS RSP per cigarette) is the modeling
parameter rather than the room density of burning
cigarettes.(IARC, 1987) These derivative equations are given as
follows:
Cp - 217 Dh./N (3) r
where c,q is the equilibrium concentration in units of micrograms
per cubic meter, Dh, is the number of habitual smokers per 100
cubic meters of space volume, and N, is the number of space air
changes per hour. Eq. 3 assumes that the number of habitual
smokers in the space is 3 or more, so that the generation of
smoke is steady. If the number of habitual smokers being modeled
is only 2, then eq. (4) applies, yielding:
C,y = 145 Dh./Nv (4),
for the 2-smoker equation, where the smaller coefficient
approximates the effect of the non-steady generation of ETS.
Similarly, if the number of habitual smokers to be modeled is
one, then eq.(5) is used:
C,y a 72 Di/N (5),
for the single-smoker equation. The use of such equations is
illustrated as follows: As part of the the Harvard 6-City study
of indoor and outdoor air quality, Spengler and colleagues (1981)
collected RSP samples in 55 homes in 6 cities between May 1977
and April 1978. The number of smokers living in each home was
recorded. The quantity of tobacco smoked was not reported, nor
was the number of hours each smoker spent in the home, and the
air exchange rates were not measured. The average "background,"
or mean indoor RSP level in the homes of nonsmokers was about 24
ug/m3; using regression analysis, the authors estimated that the
average impact of a single smoker (a composite averaged over both
sexes) on 24-hr average RSP levels in a residence was about 20
ug/m3. On average, two such habitual smokers would make about 40
ug/m3 (24-hrs)p allowing for 8 hours of sleep, the 16-hr average
would be 60 ug/m3.
Although the air exchange rates were unknown, Fig. 4 shows a
histogram of the frequency of occurrence of various air exhange
rates (called infiltration rates) during the heating season for
typical middle income housing (R. Grot, personal communication)
for 266 homes in 14 cities around the US in 1978 (SG,1986).
Occupants were asked to keep windows and doors closed during the
tests. Under these conditions, the mean air exchange rate found

Nicotine is found in measurable concentrations in the saliva
and urine of most urban nonsmokers, and is present in higher
concentrations in those with soma recent exposure. Estimating
the magnitude of the passive smoking dose is difficult, and it is
of doubtful validity to extrapolate from the uptake of one marker
to another. Over a period when one cigarette equivalent of
carbon monoxide is absorbed, the dose of nicotine appears to be
only between 1/10 and 1/3 of a cigarette equivalent. Similarly,
under extreme conditions of indoor pollution, it has been
calculated that a nonsmoker would inhale volatile nitrosamines
equivalent to 10 nonfilter cigarettes or 35 filter
cigarettes.(IARC, 1987)
The average concentration of. cotinine in the blood of habitual
smokers is about 300 ng/ml, and is calculated to represent the
consumption of about 36 mg of nicotine per day. On this basis,
and on the assumption that formation of cotinine from nicotine
and clearance from the body does not differ substantially from
smokers to nonsmokers, present data suggest that average urban
nonsmokers (in the UK) take in 0.2 mg of nicotine per day.(IARC,
1987) [.2 mg represents .6% of the smokers' doseJ The highest
plasma cotinine concentration observed in a nonsmoker corresponds
to an approximate maximum dose of 2.5 mg of nicotine per day, 10
times higher, and 7% of the average smoker's dose. Recent
studies of salivary cotinine in schoolchildren in the UK showed,
in the case where both parents smoked, average concentrations
just over 14 of the levels seen in heavy cigarette smokers.(IARC,
1987) There is little data on nicotine levels in nonsmoking US
adults. However, one recent study of personal exposures to
airborne nicotine in 4 US office workers showed about a .1 mg
mean;exposure (mean personal nicotine conce3ntration of 15 ± 9
ug/m , daily workday average, times a 0.8 m/hr inhalation rate
times an 8-hr workday). The nonsmokers were exposed to the smoke
of a co-worker who smoked 9 cigarettes per workshift, about half
the rate of the average US smoker. (Hammond et a1.,1987) This
result, although limited, is consistent with the UK data. [N.B.:
At an RSP/nicotine ratio of 13:1, (Hammond et al., 1987) the
associated 8-hr av. RSF level from ETS in this office is
calculated at 195 ug/m .)
Although the ratio of nicotine to other tobacco smoke
constituents differs in MS and SS smoke, nicotine uptake may
still be a valid marker for total ETS exposure. Nicotine uptake
in nonsmokers has been estimated in terms of cigarette
equivalents from various studies to vary between 1/6 to 1/3 of a
cigarette per day.
The NRC reports various estimates of cigarette equivalents
based upon cotinine in nonsmokers ranging from 0.1 to 1 cigarette
per day, and utilizes a ratio of urinary cotinine in ETS-exposed
nonsmokers (25.2 ng/ml) to that in active smokers (1826 ng/ml)
yielding a 1.4% result.(NRC, 1986) (Assuming a usage of 32

vapor phase or particulate phase. Although biological markers
show promise as measures of exposure, they also have limitations.
Another consideration is averaging time. For chronic diseases
such as cancer, average exposures occuring over a year or
lifetime are of greater importance than short-term exposures.(SG,
1986)
I
The two most promising markers for ETS are respirable
suspended particles in the size range <2.5 um (RSP) and nicotine
and its metabolite cotinine.(NRC,1986; SG,1986; IARC,1987) A
majority of field studies have used RSP as an indicator of
exposure to ETS because of the substantial emission of RSP in
indoor spaces from tobacco combustion. ETS is the dominant
contributor to the indoor level-s of RSP. The total RSP, as
measured by personal monitors, has been found to be substantially
elevated for those who report exposure to ETS relative to those
who report no exposure. Both air monitoring and modeling clearly
indicate that RSP concentrations will be elevated over background
levels in indoor spaces when even low smoking rates occur.(NRC,
1986) Although lacking specificity for tobacco smoke, the
prevalence and number of smokers correlates well with RSP levels
in homes and other enclosed areas.(SG,1986) RSP is the single
largest component of ETS by weight, and RSP is currently the best
and most-utilized general category of air contaminants to
represent ETS.(NRC,1986)
The biological markers that have been most useful for
assessing recent exposures to ETS are nicotine and its metabolite
cotinine, which derive exclusively from tobacco products, of
which tobacco smoke is the most important source. Almost all
nicotine shifts from the particulate phase in MS and fresh SS
smoke to the vapor phase in ETS. Nicotine and cotinine can be
quantified in saliva, blood, and urine. Generally, the mean
concentrations of nicotine and cotinine in plasma or urine of
nonsmokers exposed to ETS under natural conditions is about 1
percent of the mean values in smokers, (NRC,1986) reflecting the
fact that smokers are present in nearly all environments,
including mostworkplaces,-restaurants, and transit vehicles,
making it almost impossible for nonsmokers to avoid some exposure
to ETS.(SG,1986)
A. Sources of ET8
In 1986, an estimated 50,000,000 US smokers aged 117 yrs
smoked about 584 billion cigarettes annually. (NRC, 1986; Tobacco
Institute, 1987) They consumed an additional 3.2 billion cigars,
as well as an estimated 24.4 million pounds of tobacco for pipes
and hand-rolled ciqarettes.(NRC, 1986) The average US cigarette
smoker smokes 32 cigarettes per day at a rate of 2 cigarettes per
hour and emits about 22 mg of RSP per cigarette.(IARC, 1987)
Since the average person spends about 90% of the time indoors, an
estimated 12,000 metric tons of RSP are emitted into US indoor

nonsmoker appears to carry a daily body burden of about 0.2
milligrams (mg) of nicotine. The cotinine-based estimates have
the advantage that they reflect actual dose of an ETS
constituent. They have the disadvantage that they do not reflect
a wide distribution of target populations, are based mostly on UK
ETS exposures, and may substantially underestimate exposures to
other constituents of ETS. The RSP-based estimates have the
advantage that they are model-based, can be used to estimate
exposures in a variety of microenvironments, represent the great
bulk of ETS carcinogens, and can be compared with atmospheric
measurements of RSP. They have the disadvantage that they do not
represent whole smoke exposure, and do not reflect absorbed dose.
The greatest source of uncertainty is that neither cotinine nor
RSP measurements are based on a national probability sample, and
on an absolute scale, represent a limited amount of data.
Nevertheless, the NRC(1986), the SG(1986), and IARC(1987) have
utilized this data base for exposure assessment purposes.
Estimates of the adult nonsmoking population's exposure to RSP
from ETS suggest that the range of exposure is from 0 to 14 mg
per day, with the population average put at 1.5 mg per day, where
the peak-to-mean ratio is about a factor of 10, consistent with
the biomarker-based findings.

(ug/m}), G is the RSP generation rate from tobacco combustion in
units of micrograms per hour (ug/hr), N is the ventilation or
infiltration rate in units of airchanges per hour (ach), N, is
the loss rate of RSP due to surface removal in a space in air
changes per hour, V is the volume of the space in cubic meters
(m3), and m is the mixing rats expressed as a fraction. The
above model assumes no air-cleaning devices, either in the space
or recirculated airt Leaderer (1984) has given a detailed review
of this model. Under laboratory conditions, these input
parameters can be controlled and evaluated. In conducting field
studies or in estimating past RSP levels indoors, the values on
the right side of eq.l have to be determined from available data.
This equation assumes equilbrium conditions, and to the extent
that any of the generation or removal terms are intermittent
(e.g. smoking rate) or variable (e.g. ventilation rate), errors
are introduced. (NRC,1986)
The most extensive use of the mass-balance equation for
assessing RSP levels due to ETS in occupied spaces has been due
to Repace and Lowrey..(1980). (NRC,1986) Drawing upon the "best
available data" from several sources, including both measured and
estimated parameters, they proposed and applied in field
observations a condensed version of the mass-balance equation for
estimating RSP exposures due to ETS in a variety of indoor
microenvironments.(NRC,1986) Their model is:
Ceq - 650 D./N (2),
where C., is the equilibrium concentration of RSP due to ETS in
units of micrograms per cubic meter, D. is the density of ictive
smokers (burning cigarettes) observed in a space per 100 m over
the sampling time, and N is the ventilation or infiltration rate
in ach.(NRC,1986) The constant term (650) is calculated from a
standard set of assumed conditions for smoking rates, RSP
emission rates, mixing factors, ventilation rates, and sink
rates. These standard sets of conditions are derived largely from
experimental data-and building standards.(NRC,1986) In applying
equilbrium mass balance models such as eq.(2), gathering data on
easily measured input parameters such as smoking rates or volume
can substantially reduce the variablity of the estimated RSP
levels. However, the NRC stated that additional field testing
of eq.(2} as well as a better understanding of the variability of
the input parameters was needed.(NRC,1986)
More recently, the*International Agency for Research on Cancer
(IARC) has published derivatives of eq.2 which incorporate
advances in understanding.(IARC,1987) Eq.(2) assumes a steady
generation of tobacco smoke, which is generally only valid when 3
or more smokers are present in a space. It is also limited for
modeling purposes by being based on the room density of active
smokers. The derivative equations incorporate adjustments which
allow for intermittent generation of smoke when less than 3
82

levels; smoking data points 'A' thru 'T' encompassed a wide
variety building microenvironments,including 10 restaurants, 3
cocktail lounges, 3 bingo games, 2 dinner-dance halls, 1 bowling
alley, 1 sports arena, 1 hospital waiting room, and a residence
during a dinner party. Studies of the dispersion of RSP from ETS
in US homes showed at most a factor of 2 difference among various
rooms in residences, averaged over 24 hrs. In a setting such as
a work environment, where the average exposure is several hours,
ETS would be expected to disseminate throughout the airspace
where smoking is occuring.(SG, 1986) Although most people spend
approximately 90 percent of their time in just two
microenvironments (home and work), important exposures can also
be encountered in other microenvironents, e.g., in transit, which
accounts for 0:5 to 1.5 hrs per day for most people..(SG, 1986)
Exposures on aircraft can also be considerable. (Repace and
Lowrey, 1988)
I
D. Exposure of nonsmoking populations to ITS
In the general population (both sexes) aged >_ 17 years in 1980
(160,798,000 persons),_a majority has smoked at some time: 32.6%
were current smokers, and 21.3% were exsmokers, while 46.1% had
never smoked (see Table 9). Among current 1980 smokers, 53% were
male, and 47% were female, with some race- and gender-specific
differences : white males, 35.9%, black males, 42.0%; white
females, 29.3%, black females, 29.7%. (R. Wilson, NCHS, personal
communication) In terms of the population at risk, both lifelong
nonsmokers and former smokers, 66.7% of the adult population and
the overwhelming majority of children are potentially at risk
from involuntary exposure to ETS (in 1970, Bonham and Wilson
(1970) found in a national probability sample of children, that
62t of US homes with children contained 1 or more smokers).
Exposure to various subpopulations or individuals, however, may
vary considerably. For example, the prevalence of smoking among
subgroups of the population who proscribe smoking on religious
grounds (such as Mormons and Seventh-Day Adventists) is much
lower: for example, in 1980, only 1.7% of Seventh Day Adventist
men and 0.5% of Seventh Day Adventist women reported current
smoking, although 35% of the total were exsmokers. The incidence
of lung cancer -- a disease for which the majority of cases occur
in smokers -- among SDAs is 21% of that in the general
population. Thus, SDA homes would be, in general, expected to be
ETS-free.
The microenvironments of importance for exposure to ETS will
be those where the population spends the bulk of its time. As
Table 10 (Ott, 1981)(based on 1972 data) shows, employed men
spend an estimated 56% of their time at home, and 28% of their
time at work, for a total of 84% of the time at home and at work;
employed women spend 64% of their time at home, and 22% of the
time at work, for total of 86% of the time at home and at work;
while homemakers spend 85% of the time at home. When time spent
86

office buildings in 7 states with different climates is shown in
Fig. 7, and these generally approximate the ASHRAE 62-81
ventilation standards for offices (20 cfm per occupant,
equivalent to 0.84 ach, for smoking buildings), on average,
although there are some buildings significantly lower. A recent
EPA study of air exchange rates in 6 buildings (3 new, 3 old) did
not show significant differences between the new (.5 ach) and old
(.5 ach) buildings' airchange rates, although for a given
building nighttime measurements tended to be lower. (Sheldon, et
a1.,1987)
In summary, limited field tests of the general equilibrium
model, in which some of the input parameters are measured and
others are estimated from either chamber studies or building
codes, have predicted RSP levels reasonably well over a wide
range of values of input parameters. It is clear that both
models and observations based on personal monitoring or area
monitors in various microenvironments yield consistent results:
RSP levels when smoking is allowed will result in substantial
increases over RSP levels in nonsmoking occupancy.(NRC,1986)
C. Measured concentrations of RSP from ETS
Both chamber and field studies (Table 8) have demonstrated
that tobacco combustion has a major impact on the mass of
suspended particulate matter in occupied spaces in the size range
<2.5 um, defined here as RSP. RSP is a major component of ETS.
Even under conditions of low smoking rates, easily measurable
increases in RSP have been recorded above background levels
(Table 8). The term RSP, however, encompasses a broad range of
particulates of varying chemical composition and size emanating
from a number of sources (outdoors, cooking indoors, kerosene
heaters, etc.)(NRC, 1986) The apportionment of RSP indoors
depends primarily on the presence of these other sources,
however, there are few indoor sources generating concentations
which approach in strength those due to ETS. As section II
indicates, there appears to be little variability between brands
of cigarettes or tobaccos for RSP emissions, although cigars will
produce greater emissions than cigarettes. Thus, it may be
inferred from Table 8 that from a comparison of smoking and
nonsmoking buildings, the bulk of the RSP found in buildings
where there is smoking is due to ETS. For example, by comparison
of the data of First (1984), Leaderer, et al (1986) and Repace
and Lowrey (1980,1982) for a total of 42 smoking buildings and 21
nonsmoking buildings, the wei?hted average RSP level in the
smoking builjings is 262 ug/m, while in the nonsmoking buildings
it is 36 ug/m , suggesting that about 85% of the indoor RSP
levels in those buildings is due to ETS. Most of the buildings
involved were public access buildings.
Figure 8, (IARC, 1987) a plot of the data of Repace and Lowrey
(1980, 1982) illustrates the large impact of smoking on RSP

exposures. However, additional data on the distribution of
smokers in the nonsmokers' environment as well as the
distribution of ETS levels in that environment, are needed in
order to characterize the actual ETS exposure of the population.
In the absence of such data, population exposures can be
estimated by models or by extrapolation from biological markers
from existing studies. (SG, 1986; IARC, 1987)
In summary, exposures to ETS can be assessed by personal air
contaminant monitoring, modeling of concentrations based upon air
sampling, time-activity patterns, and questionnaires, or upon
biological markers. The two best methods at present are based
upon the biological markers, nicotine and its metabolite,
cotinine, which are present in the saliva, plasma, and urine of
active and passive smokers, and upon RSP from the particulate
phase of ETS, which has been used by a majority of field studies
because of the substantial emission of RSP from tobacco
combustion. In US, ETS is generated by 50 million smokers, who
smoke the equivalent (including pipes and cigars) of 610 billion
cigarettes annually,- Although the number of smokers has been
declining, the percentage of heavy smokers has been increasing.
There are models in use, based on the mass-balance equation, and
validated both under laboratory and limited field conditions,
which can predict the concentrations of RSP from ETS to a
reasonable degree of accuracy. Application of such models,
together with field studies of RSP concentrations and behavioral
studies, has shown that exposure to ETS is very widespread in the
population. Field studies of RSP in buildings where smoking
occurs suggest that RSP from ETS contributes 80 to 90 percent of
the particulate load during the period of smoking, and that it
persists for long periods after smoking ends at typical building
air exchange rates, thus prolonging nonsmokers' exposures.
E. Zntegrated exposure analysis
Exposure to ETS can be quantified either by atmospheric or
biological markers:, Of the latter, expired carbon monoxide,
carboxyhemoglobin, plasma thiocyanate, plasma, urinary or
salivary nicotine, and plasma, urinary, or salivary cotinine have
been used to evaluate exposure to ETS. However, successful
attempts to quantify the degree of exposure have been limited
largely to measurements of nicotine and cotinine. Urinary
nicotine is a sensitive indicator of recent ETS exposure, while
cotinine appears to be the short-term marker of choice for
epidemiologic studies. Nicotine and cotinine are the best markers
currently available. Levels in body fluids may be elevated 10 or
more times in the most heavily exposed groups compared with the
least exposed groups. Mean levels of urinary nicotine and
cotinine in body fluids increase with an increasing self-reported
ETS exposure and with an increasing number of cigarettes smoked
per day by active smokers. (SG, 1986)

was 1.1 ± 0.9 ach (Grot & Clark, 1979); this value is likely to
be lower than a full seasonal average with no restrictions on
door and window openings. Based on time-budget studies, in a two-
smoker home, on average, an estimated 21 cigarettes per day (cpd)
would be smoked in the home by the homemaker, and 11 cpd by the
wage-earner, for a total of 32 cpd, by a smoking couple (i.e.,
assuming 2 cigarettes per hour, this implies that smoking occurs
in the home 16 hrs out of 24).(Repace and Lowrey, 1985)
The utility of Eq. 4 depends on the assumption of an air
exchange rate. Eq. 4 f r a two-smoker home (q w 0.58) predicts
a value of Cp - 60 ug/m~ 16 hr average or 40 ug/m3 24-hr average,
for a value of N, - 1.4 achI .ddinq the 24 ug/m3 background
yields an estimated 64 ug/m for a 24-hr average. Extrapolating
from this to a single smoker home would place the estimated 24-hr
RSP ~oncentration at 44 ug/m3, and to a 3 smoker home yields 84
ug/m . This is consistent with observations as shown in fig.5.
Thus, by assuming an air exchange rate only a third of a standard
deviation from the 14 city mean, the 6-city RSP levels in
smokers' homes.can..be..fit exactly. If the 14 city mean of 1.1
ach were used for N, instead, the predicted concentrations would
still be within 27% of observations. This example illustrates the
utility of models in estimating nonsmokers' exposures to ETS.
As a second example, consider the measured aerosol mass
concentration in a 700 m3 (25000 ft2 floor area) office with one
smoker (smoking rate not reported), and a measured air exchange
rate of 1 ach (see Fig. 6); the large impact on the office
aerosol concentration caused by smoking is apparent by comparing
the daytime and evening RSP concentrations.(IARC, 1987) The
predictions of eq. 5 for Dh, - 1 smoker (smoking at a rate of 2
cph) per 7 hundred cupsic meters and N, - 1 ach yields C - 10
ug/m3; wit~ an 18 ug/m background added, the predicted RSP level
is 28 ug/m . The predicted value (eq. 3) for chainsmoking (6 cph)
is 48 ug/m3, which is consistent with the daytime data in Fig. 6.
It is clear from fig. 6 and also from models, that ETS can be
very persistent in indoor environments: at an air exchange rate
of 1 ach, it takes 3 hrs for 954 of the smoke from 1 cigarette to
be removed (IARC, 1987)
Recent research has revealed several interesting factors in
large office building air exhange. There are many pathways for
floor-to-floor air communication, particularly return air shafts,
where the existence of such pathways can cause a building's air
exchange characteristics to closely approximate those of a single
large open space; it does not require unusual numbers or sizes of
openings to create these conditions.(A.Persily, personal
communication7 Persily and Grot,1986) This implies that ETS may
diffuse throughout a large office building, exposing nonsmokers
even in private offices. Nicotine measurements in office
buildings support this observation. (Williams, et al., 1985) A
sampling of whole-building air-exchange rates in 8 large federal
84

of average exposure in passive smoking to that in active smoking,
was about 0.3%. This translates into 3% of the smoker' exposure
for the most-exposed passive smokers, reasonably consistent with
estimates based on doses from nicotine and cotinine, above.
Table 13 gives estimates of the probability-weighted exposures
to ETS for US nonsmoking adults at home and at work, the two
most-frequented microevironments.(Repace and Lowrey, 1985) Table
13 is derived from RSP concentration modeling based upon Eq.'s 2-
5, and from assessments of exposure probability based on a
limited national survey of top management and health officials
concerning prevalence of smoking in the workplace in 3000 US
corporations, large, medium, and small (29% response), and a
national probability sample of the prevalence of smoking in homes
with children (used as a surrogate for all homes). Exposure
probabilities were a weighted average taken over the number of
workers in white-collar and blue-collar occupations, and
including the different exposure probabilities for white and blue
collar workers. Air exchange rates and building occupancies were
taken from ASHRAE Standard ventilation rate tables for white-
collar workplaces (which were used as surrogates for blue-collar
workplaces).
Table 13 estimates average the workplace ETS exposure
probability at 63%, and the average estimated domestic ETS
exposure probability at 62%, where the focus was on estimation of
ETS exposures in the 1950's to mid-1970's, since these exposures
were held to be of primary significance for the studies of
passive smoking and lung cancer, given the long latency for lung
cancer. comparison of these exposure probability estimates to
adult life ETS exposure histories taken by Kabat and Wynder
(1986) for 215 60-yr old female nonsmokers, 654 at home and 67%
at work, shows good agreement. Table 13 estimates a 0.45 mg/day
RSP exposure for nonsmokers at home, (weighted for male and
female time-activity pattern dif~erences, and for respiration
rate) corresponding to a 19 ug/~a 24-hr average, in good
agreement with results (19 ug/m per smoker) published in the 6-
City study.(Repace and Lowrey, 1985) Table 13 also estimates a
1.82 mg/day RSP exposure for workers, (again weighted for male-
female time-activity patterns and for respiration rate)
corresponding to about a 230 ug/m3 workplace concentration, using
ASHRAE Standard 62-73 for workplace occupancy and performing a
weighted average workday for the different hours worked by men
and women (Repace and Lowrey, 1985). This is in good agreement
with the weighted average concentrations (262 ug/m3) reported for
ETS in public access buildings (See section III-C).
In summary, using either the best biological marker (cotinine)
or the best atmospheric marker (RSP) produces a consistent
assessment of ETS exposure, i.e., of the order of 1% of that in
smokers. The most-exposed individuals appear to have levels
about ten times higher. Based upon limited data, the typical

in other peoples' homes and in non-work places of business are
added in, the population averages about 88% of its time in homes
and workplaces. These sites, therefore, must, on average,
predominate as potential sites for exposure to ETS for the
general nonsmoking population. A UK study of exposure to ETS in
20 nonsmoking men whose wives smoked showed that 784 of the men's
reported hours exposure came from outside the home; by contrast,
90% of the ETS exposure of 101 nonsmoking men whose wives did not
smoke was reported to come from non-domestic microenvironments.
(Table 11). Since the second largest source of time spent by men
is in the workplace (Table 10), this suggests the workplace may
be an important source of exposure for nonsmoking men.
One recent questionnaire survey of exposure to ETS in a
California population subscribing to a health-maintainance plan
indicated that 634 of nonsmokers surveyed reported exposures to
tobacco smoke (Friedman, 1983)p this occurred despite the fact
that in the 1980's California has has been in the forefront of
restrictions on smoking in public, with 44% of its population
currently living in communities that have enacted workplace
smoking restrictions.(SG, 1986) Garfinkel (1981), in a study of
176,000 nonsmoking US women (1960-1972), found 72% had smoking
husbands. Kabat and Wynder (1986), in a recent study of 215
sixty-year-old US women nonsmokers, found that 65% were exposed
at home.and 67% reported exposure at work, averaged over
adulthood. Studies of the concentration of nicotine and cotinine
in the body fluids of nonsmokers report similar results (Table
12); Fig. 10 (Jarvis & Russell, 1984) shows that in a study of
about 100 UK nonsmokers, only 124 of the subjects had
undetectable cotinine levels. Moreover, in the latter study,
surprisingly, nearly 50% reported no exposure, suggesting that
ETS permeates indoor atmospheres to such an extent that many
nonsmokers are unwittingly exposed. This is borne out by a study
of 46 US infants, 40% of whom were reported by their mothers to
be unexposed to ETS, but only 20% had undetectable urinary
cotinine levels (Fig. 11).(Greenberg, 1986) In a third UK study
(Wald, 1986) of urinary cotinine in 221 nonsmokers, the 20% who
reported no exposure had mean urinary cotinine levels which were
21% of the remainder of the group who reported exposure.
The foregoing illustrates that exposure to ETS is very
widespread in the population, even among those nonsmokers who
believe themselves to be unexposed, however it tends to be
greater in those who say they are exposed at home, possibly
indicating a greater tolerance for ETS among men with nonsmoking
spouses. Although there have been numerous measurements of ETS
concentrations in various indoor settings, these data do not
represent a comprehensive description of the actual distribution
of ETS exposures in the US population. Spengler et al.(1985) and
Sexton et al. (1984) demonstrated by personal monitoring of RSP
and the use of time-activity questionnaires that exposures to ETS
both at home and at work are significant contributors to personal

cigarettes per day by habitual smokers based upon cigarette sales
(Repace and Lowrey, 1980), this yields 57 ng/ml/cigarette, or
0.44 cigarette equivalents per day. Adjusting this by
multiplying by the ratio of cotinine clearance in nonsmokers to
that in smokers reported in one study (Fig.1), 49.7 hrs/18.5 hrs
- 2.67, yields a higher value, 1.1 cigarette equivalents per day
or 3.6% of the smokers' dose.] In summary, based upon the
limited studies (none of which are a probability sample of US
nonsmokers) of cotinine in body fluids of nonsmokers (see Table
11, SG, 1986), nonsmokers appear to have of the order of 1% of
the nicotine uptake of smokers. However, these estimates must be
interpreted with caution; relative absorption of nicotine in
smokers and nonsmokers may substantially underestimate exposure
to other components of ETS. (SG,1986)
Alternatively, human exposure to ETS can be estimated using
approaches similar to those used for other airborne pollutants.
Measures of exposure to individual atmospherie smoke constituents
can be used as estimates of whole smoke exposure. The accuracy
of this approach is limited by changes in the composition of ETS
with time and conditions of exposure. One widely reported marker
of ETS is respirable suspended particulate matter (RSP).
Although lacking specificity for tobacco smoke, the prevalence
and number of smokers correlates well with RSP levels in homes
and other enclosed areas. In the Harvard study of indoor air
pollution in 6 cities, Spengler et al. and Sexton et al.
demonstrated by the personal monitoring of RSP and the use of
time-activity questionnaires that exposures to ETS at home and at
work are significant contributors to personal exposures. In
general, measurements in a large number of locations using
measures of smoke generation such as the number of people smoking
or the number of cigarettes being smoked have shown a definite
relationship of smoke generation to particulate levels. In US
homes, there are few other sources of RSP, and therefore, the
relationships of RSP measurements to ETS are quite accurate.(SG,
1986)
Repace and Lowrey (1980) measured RSP concentration using a
piezobalance in several public and private locations, in both the
presence and absence of smoking. They then developed an
empirical model utilizing the mass balance equation (Eq.2). Using
both measured and estimated parameters as input to the model,
they validated the model for predicting an individual's exposure
to ETS.(SG, 1986) Kuller et al (1986) in a review of estimates
of the nonsmoking population's exposure to ETS, observed that
cigarette smoking is probably the single most important source of
indoor RSP; that a higher percentage of nonsmokers appear to be
exposed out of the home, usually at work (Friedman, 1983); and
that modeling of RSP has estimated that the average exposure of
the nonsmoking adult population to tars from ETS was 1.43 mg/day,
varying from 0 to 14 mg (Repace and Lowrey, 1985). Kuller et al.
(1986) in reviewing the latter estimate, observed that the ratio
