“…There have been many studies pointing to the harmful effects of passive smoking on exposed groups of adults, children, and pregnant women and their fetuses [13,16,17,18,19,20]. The most serious complications of ETS in pregnancy include spontaneous abortion, preterm birth fetal developmental anomalies, ectopic pregnancy, preterm labor, intrauterine growth retardation of the fetus (intrauterine growth retardation or IUGR), fetal death, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) [11,12,21,22,23,24].…”

Background: Exposure to ETS (environmental tobacco smoke) is one of the most toxic environmental exposures. Objective: To investigate the association of ETS with physiological, biochemical, and psychological indicators, as well as with urine antioxidant capacity (AC) and oxidative damage to lipids in a pilot sample of healthy pregnant women. Methods: Exposure to ETS was investigated via a validated questionnaire, and urine cotinine and the marker of oxidative damage to lipids via 8-isoprostane concentrations using an ELISA kit. Urine AC was determined by the spectrophotometric Trolox-equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) method. From a sample of pregnant women (n = 319, average age 30.84 ± 5.09 years) in 80, the levels of cotinine and oxidative stress markers were analyzed. Results: Among the 80 pregnant women, 5% (7.4% confirmed by cotinine) reported being current smokers and 25% reported passive smoking in the household (18.8% confirmed by cotinine). The Kappa was 0.78 for smokers and 0.22 for ETS-exposed nonsmokers. Pregnant women in the ETS-exposed group had significantly reduced AC compared to both the nonsmoker (ETS−) and the smoker groups (p < 0.05). Nonsmokers had significantly lower levels of 8-isoprostane than smokers (p < 0.01) and ETS-exposed nonsmokers (p < 0.05). Correlations between urine levels of cotinine and AC were positive in ETS-exposed nonsmokers. Conclusion: A harmful association of active and passive smoking and oxidative stress parameters among pregnant women has been indicated.

Background: Exposure to ETS (Environmental Tobacco Smoke) is one of the most toxic environmental exposures. Objective: To investigate the impact of ETS on physiological, biochemical, psychological indicators, on the urine antioxidant capacity (AC) and oxidative damage to lipids in a pilot sample of healthy pregnant women. Methods: The exposure to ETS was investigated by a validated questionnaire, urine cotinine and the marker of oxidative damage to lipids - 8-isoprostane concentrations using an ELISA kit. Urine AC was determined by the spectrophotometric TEAC method. From the sample of pregnant women (n=319, average age 30.84 ± 5.09 years) in 80 the levels of cotinine and oxidative stress markers were analyzed. Results: From our sample, 5 % individuals (7.4 % objectified by cotinine) were current smokers and 25 % reported passive smoking in the household (18.8 % objectified by cotinine). The Kappa was 0.78 for smokers and 0.22 for ETS exposed non-smokers. Smokers as well as non-smokers had significantly higher (p<0.05) urine AC than ETS exposed non-smokers. Non-smokers had significantly lower levels of 8-isoprostane than smokers (p<0.01) and ETS-exposed non-smokers (p<0.05). Correlations between urine levels of cotinine and AC were positive in ETS exposed non-smokers. Conclusion: The harmful effect of active and passive smoking on oxidative stress parameters has been indicated.

Secondhand smoke (SHS) is one of the greatest and most frequent environmental toxic exposures. According to the WHO, it causes over 600,000 deaths per year, the majority (64%) among women, with more than a third of all people exposed to the harmful effects of smoke. This corresponds to 1% of the global burden of diseases worldwide. Numerous studies have shown the harmful effects of SHS on those who are exposed, including female adults, children, and pregnant women and their fetuses. The aim of this narrative review is to present research concerning SHS and its unfavorable association with the physical and mental health of those vulnerable population groups. Full papers in the English language were searched in the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases, and the inclusion factors were reviews and original studies on secondhand smoke and its effects on maternal and child health, including US Surgeon General’s Reports since the year 2006. Special attention was paid to studies based on the bilateral American-Slovak project “Prenatal, pregnancy, and childhood exposures to household smoking and their relations to subsequent development and health in Slovakia" The research on SHS and health effects helps in campaigns for smoke-free environments and in the promotion of community-based smoke-free programs. Besides school and the workplace, a complete smoking ban at home should be considered to avoid potential adverse health effects on vulnerable population groups.
