A field study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of several auxiliary air cleaning services in reducing components of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) within a designated smoking lounge and ambient areas in an office suite. Monitoring was performed for the ETS components nicotine, respirable particulate and carbon monoxide. Nicotine and RSP samples were collected in a smoking lounge for two eight-hour periods for each of the following conditions: (1) no smoking in the office suite with no air cleaning devices operating; (2) smoking in the smoking lounge with no clean air devices operating; and (3) smoking in the smoking lounge with one of four air cleaning devices operating. Eight-hour general area and personal samples were also collected to determine levels of nicotine and RSP in ambient, non-smoking areas. Continuous monitoring, with one minute averaging, was performed for carbon monoxide using a direct reading air quality monitor.
