Environmental Tobacco Smoke: Measuring Exposures and Assessing Health Effects

Committee on Passive Smoking,Commission on Life Sciences,Division on Earth and Life Studies,National Research Council,National Academy of Sciences

This comprehensive book examines the recent research investigating the characteristics and composition of different types of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and discusses possible health effects of ETS. The volume presents an overview of methods used to determine exposures to environmental smoke and reviews both chronic and acute health effects. Many recommendations are made for areas of further research, including the differences between smokers and nonsmokers in absorbing, metabolizing, and excreting the components of ETS, and the possible effects of ETS exposure during childhood and fetal life.
