Abstract
The effect of alternative smoking policies, which prohibited or restricted smoking, on indoor air quality was studied in 27 air-conditioned office buildings. Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, respirablc particulates, formaldehyde, ultraviolet paniculate matter (u.v.PM), nicotine, air temperature, relative humidity and illumination were measured at eight sample sites in each building. Smoking policy had no effect on carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, relative humidity, formaldehyde, air temperature or illumination for open office areas It did have an effect on levels of respirable suspended particulates, ultraviolet particulate matter and nicotineKeywords
