Abstract
The doses (Concentration × Time) to the respiratory tract by urban, occupational and personal (smoking) pollutants were calculated by assuming pollutant concentration in air equivalent to air quality standards, threshold limit values and reported cigarette smoke concentrations, respectively. The calculations suggest that the most severe challenge by a large margin, is that posed to the pack a day cigarette smoker. Assumptions and results of calculations are presented.Keywords
