Based on the weight of the available scientific evidence, EPA has
concluded that the widespread exposure to environmental tobacco
smoke in the U.S. presents a serious and substantial public health
risk.

-3 ,000. iurig' cancer deaths- anUually 'in U. S'. nonsmokers. ETS has.
been classified as a Group A carcinogen under EPA's carcinogen
assessment guidelines. This classification is reserved for
those compounds or mixtures which have been shown to cause
cancer in humans, based on studies in human populations.
In Chi].dren
ETS exposure increases the risk of lower respiratory tract
infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. EPA estimates
that between 150,000 and 300,000 of these cases annually in
infants and young children up to 18 months of age are
attributable to exposure to ETS. Of these, between 7,500 and
15,000 will result in hospitalization.
ETS exposure increases the prevalence of fluid in the middle
ear, a sign of chronic middle ear disease.
ETS exposure in children irritates the upper respiratory tract
and is associated with a small but significant reduction in
lung function. -

of symptoms in asthmatic children.- The report estimates that
200,000 to 1,000,000 asthmatic children have their condition
worsened by exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. -

children who have not previously displayed symptoms.
