Abstract: | Studies focusing directly on tobacco smoke have tended to center on the differences in effect between smokers and non-smokers and many hundreds of such studies have been performed. In this review, we examine the current literature specifically concerning workplace exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and its impact on individuals, particularly non-smokers and never smokers. The paper deals with quantifying and minimizing ETS exposures in a working environment, the effect of polymorphisms and other genetic factors that influence health outcomes after exposure to ETS and the association of occupational ETS exposure to disease-specific biomarkers. |
