New study finds compounds from tobacco smoke can infiltrate well-ventilated rooms by hitching a ride on peoples’ clothes, skin, and hair.
A new study by scientists at Yale University has found that compounds from tobacco smoke can infiltrate well-ventilated rooms by hitching a ride on peoples’ clothes, skin, and hair and then evaporating slowly over time in a process called “off-gassing.” There has also been an increasing interest into thirdhand smoke, but most studies have so far looked at rooms that were recently smoked in, rather than how people who were either smokers or had been around smokers impacted non-smoking indoor environments.
Over the course of four days, they found the levels of 35 tobacco-related chemicals surged when audience members entered the theater.The effects were particularly pronounced during R-rated films, like “Resident Evil,” which the authors suggested was because such movies attract older audiences more likely to have been exposed to smoke.
