Formation of carcinogens indoors by surface-mediated reactions of nicotine with nitrous acid, leading to potential thirdhand smoke hazards

TL;DR: It is shown that residual nicotine from tobacco smoke sorbed to indoor surfaces reacts with ambient nitrous acid (HONO) to form carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), which represents an unappreciated health hazard through dermal exposure, dust inhalation, and ingestion.
Journal ArticleDOI

The relationship between optical attenuation and black carbon concentration for ambient and source particles

TL;DR: In this article, the attenuation attenuation (ATN) of visible light as it passes through filter samples was measured for a large number of solvent-extracted source and ambient particle samples using temperature-programmed evolved gas analysis with continuous light attenuation measurement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct Determination of the Phase Distributions of Semi-Volatile Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Using Annular Denuders

TL;DR: The integrated organic vapor/particle sampler (IOVPS) as discussed by the authors uses a cyclone inlet for removal of particles greater than 2.5 μm (D50) from the airstream, followed by two or three sandblasted glass annular denuders coated with ground particles of an adsorbent resin.
