Barworkers protected by the Scottish smoking ban   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1277 of 2741 |
Annals of Occupational Hygiene publishes today a paper comparing the exposure of barworkers to second-hand smoke before and after the ban on smoking in public spaces in Scotland.  The paper reports that the salivary concentration of cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine, fell in non-smokers by 89%, and even in smokers it fell by 12%.  Personal exposures to PM2.5 particles fell by 89%.   This is one of a suite of papers on the study, of which an important health finding was a 17% reduction in heart attack admissions in nine hospitals.

The Annals paper is free to access at http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/mem044v1.  For a summary of the wider studies, see
