(1981). Spengler and colleagues (1981) collected respirable suspended particulate samples in 55 homes in six cities. The average concentra- tions observed between May 1977 and April 1978 are shown in Table 16. The quantity of tobacco smoked was not reported, nor was the number of hours each smoker spent in the home. The researchers concluded that the mean RSP levels increased by 20 pg/m* per smoker. Dockery and Spengler (1981) further analyzed these data and considered the number of cigarettes smoked in the home. They concluded that the mean RSP concentration increased by 0.88 g/m? 164 for every cigarette smoked per day in the house. A one-pack-a-day smoker in the home thus raises indoor respirable particulate levels by 17.6 pg/m*. Air conditioning increased the contribution of each cigarette by 1.23 yg/m%, to a total of 2.11 yg/m® per cigarette in fully air-conditioned homes. These values are annual averages; air-condi- tioned homes, in which air is recirculated during the warmer months, have higher levels. Repace and Lowrey (1980) measured RSP concentration using a piezobalance in several public and private locations, including restaurants, cocktail lounges, and halls, in both the presence and the absence of smoking. They then developed an empirical model utilizing the mass-balance equation. Using both measured and estimated parameters as input to the model, they validated the model for predicting an individual’s exposure to the RSP constituent of ETS. The model takes the form: Ce, = 650 D,/nv; where Ceq equals the equilibrium concentration of the RSP component of ETS (ug/m'), D, equals the density of active smokers (number of burning cigarettes per 100 m*), and nv equals the ventilation rate (in air changes per hour). The ventilation rate is a complex parameter that takes into account all the room-specific constants affecting the removal of ETS, such as ventilation, decay, and mixing. 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 relation- ship of smoke generation to particulate levels. First (1984) cautioned against the use of RSP measurements as a measure of ETS in public places because of its nonspecificity for ETS, and noted that other sources may contribute enough to the levels to invalidate the determination of the ETS contribution. However, there are few other sources of RSP in most U.S. homes, and therefore, the relationships of RSP measurements to ETS levels are generally quite accurate in this setting. Nicotine appears to be a promising tracer for ETS because of its specificity for tobacco and its presence in relatively high concentra- tions in tobacco smoke. It can also be measured in biological fluids to provide an indication of acute exposure to tobacco smoke. Cotinine, nicotine’s major metabolite, can be used as an indicator of more chronic exposure. These biological markers are discussed in a separate chapter of this Report.. Recent studies have indicated that nicotine may be primarily associated with the vapor phase of ETS and therefore not a surrogate for the particulate phase as once thought (Eudy et al. 1986). However, the possible usefulness of this compound in estimating exposure to ETS warrants further evalu- ation. The nicotine content of sidestream smoke does not differ significantly from brand to brand when normalized on a per gram of tobacco basis (Rickert et al. 1984). The use of nicotine as a marker for 165 ETS must also give consideration to its loss to surfaces and its subsequent revolatilization and readmission to the room volume. Carbon monoxide, a marker for gas phase components, has been measured extensively as a surrogate for ETS. There are many sources of carbon monoxide other than cigarettes, indoors (e.g., stoves, grills) and outdoors (e.g., automobile). This nonspecificity for ETS seriously limits its usefulness for environmental measurements. In summary, no single compound definitively characterizes an individual’s exposure to ETS. Additional research is currently under way to quantify the relationships among various constituents and ETS levels. Because of the complex nature of ETS, investigators may need to measure several markers or to separately record source variables (such as number of cigarettes smoked) in order to estimate exposure to ETS. Monitoring Studies Personal monitors can measure the concentrations of ETS in an individual’s breathing zone. Personal monitoring is preferable to area monitoring because it integrates the temporal and spatial dimensions of an individual’s exposures. At the present time, all of the studies that have used personal monitors to measure ETS constituents have utilized active samplers that provide integrated exposures over differing time periods. The markers assessed in personal monitoring studies have the same lack of specificity found in area monitoring studies. However, in many of the personal monitoring studies, time-activity diaries were kept to permit greater resolution in attributing exposure to specific sources. In Topeka, Kansas, 45 nonsmoking adults carried personal RSP monitors for 18 days, and area monitors were placed inside and outside their homes (Spengler and Tosteson 1981). The indoor RSP levels were consistently higher than outdoor levels, and the personal exposures levels were higher than either. The group was divided into those who reported ETS exposure and those who did not (Figure 3). Reported exposure to ETS clearly shifts the distribution to the right. On the average, reported ETS exposure increased an individual’s personal concentration by 20 pg/m*. Personal RSP monitors were carried by 101 nonsmoking volun- teers for 3 days in Kingston-Harriman, Tennessee (Spengler et al. 1985). The study population was divided into two groups: those who lived with a smoker and those who did not. ETS exposure was reported by 28 of the participants, with the remaining participants reporting none. The RSP distribution for the ambient samples is shown in Figure 4. Clearly, exposure to ETS significantly increases an individual’s personal concentration profile. 166 20 + _ 18 +4 16 Non-smoke-exposed 14 12 — 10 +4 Percentage 84 64 4+ 1 on. a - 0 5 10 18 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 Smoke-exposed Percentage no & DD @ oll |[lnann...| oO 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 FIGURE 3.—Percentage distribution of personal respirable particulate concentrations, non-smoke-exposed and smoke-exposed samples, Topeka, Kansas SOURCE: Spengler and Tosteson (1981). Sexton and colleagues (1984) monitored personal RSP exposure for 48 nonsmokers in Waterbury, Vermont, every other day for 2 weeks. The participants kept activity logs and had simultaneous indoor and outdoor RSP samples collected at their homes. The proportion of time individuals spent exposed to ETS was the single most important determinant of their personal exposure. Volunteers who reported greater than 120 minutes of exposure to ETS had a mean RSP exposure of 50.1 pg/m*, whereas those volunteers who reported no exposure to ETS had a mean exposure of 31.7 pg/m°. 167 100 ~ ee Te _——— =e f ae S ser } c c j Jj S 6o- 1 J a” & ' f o ? o 2 = : 4 en 2 (if a wey if - t s/f in| l I t \ 0 40 80 120 160 200 240 Respirable particulate concentration (yg/m?)

Nicotine, a tobacco-specific compound, should make an excellent tracer for ETS if its usage can be properly validated. Some considerations in its usage are detailed in the section on area sampling. Currently, no published reports are available that utilize this compound for the type of detailed personal monitoring studies carried out for RSP. However, a lightweight personal nicotine monitor has recently been developed (Muramatsu et al. 1984) that may aid this type of research. The researchers measured average nicotine concentrations ranging from 3.0 pg/m? in a hospital lobby to 38.7 pg/m* in a conference room and 47.7 pg/m* in an automobile. No information on the duration of exposure or representativeness of these levels to the general population was given. However, this study does provide information as to the range of exposures an individual may encounter and demonstrates that high nicotine levels can be encountered in various settings. It will be necessary to quantify the relationship between nicotine, a vapor phase component of ETS, and other components of interest such as RSP in order to fully utilize this tracer. Certain organic gases have been measured as possible indicators of ETS exposure or of specific effects such as irritation. These include formaldehyde and acrolein (Weber and Fischer 1980) and aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and styrene (Higgins et al. 1983). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s recent TEAM study utilized personal monitors, employing Tenax cartridges, to develop profiles of individual exposures to volatile organics (Wallace 168 et al. in press). The TEAM study has found significantly increased exposure to benzene for individuals exposed to ETS. Again, the nonspecificity of these materials for ETS limits their applicability. Other materials such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide have been measured in personal monitoring studies attempting to assess individuals’ exposure to ETS. Their nonspecificity and lack of sensitivity for low-level ETS exposure make them inappropriate for population-based studies. Personal monitoring techniques are currently available that will allow the assessment of individual exposures to various components of ETS. Although not widely used in the past, they can provide valuable input in developing exposure models and in validating other monitoring schemes. Their usefulness is primarily that they sample all of the microenvironments in which individuals find themselves and therefore automatically compensate for the nonuni- form temporal and spatial distributions of ETS that affect individual exposure profiles. Conclusions 1. Undiluted sidestream smoke is characterized by significantly higher concentrations of many of the toxic and carcinogenic compounds found in mainstream smoke, including ammonia, volatile amines, volatile nitrosamines, certain nicotine decom- position products, and aromatic amines. 2. Environmental tobacco smoke can be a substantial contributor to the level of indoor air pollution concentrations of respirable particles, benzene, acrolein, N-nitrosamine, pyrene, and carbon monoxide. ETS is: the only source of nicotine and some N- nitrosamine compounds in the general environment. 3. Measured exposures to respirable suspended particulates are higher for nonsmokers who report exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. Exposures to ETS occur widely in the non- smoking population. 4. The small particle size of environmental tobacco smoke places it in the diffusion-controlled regime of movement in air for deposition and removal mechanisms. Because these submicron particles will follow air streams, convective currents will dominate and the distribution of ETS will occur rapidly through the volume of a room. As a result, the simple separation of smokers and nonsmokers within the same airspace may reduce, but will not eliminate, exposure to ETS. 5.It has been demonstrated that ETS has resulted in elevated respirable suspended particulate levels in enclosed places. 169 References ADAMS, J.D., O’MARA-ADAMS, K.J., HOFFMANN, D.
