- Abstract
The article assesses indoor air quality at the five large-hub U.S. airports with designated indoor smoking areas and compares it with the indoor air quality at four large-hub U.S. airports that forbid smoking in all indoor areas. Levels of respirable suspended particulates (RSPs), a marker for secondhand smoke, were measured. The average level of RSPs in the smoking-permitted areas was 16 times the average level in non-smoking areas and 23 times the average level in smoke-free airports.
