“…PAHs are a group of organic compounds that are generated during the incomplete burning of lignite (Liu et al, 2012), fuels (Lu et al, 2012), volcanic eruption (Schwandner et al, 2013), biomass (Sanchis et al, 2014), garbage (Chen et al, 2013), or other organic substances, such as tobacco (Chalbot et al, 2012). PAHs are highly toxic organic compounds that can cause a range of adverse health effects (e.g., cancer, endocrine disruption, reproductive and developmental effects) (Hoyer, 2001;Matsui, 2008;Liao et al, 2011;Wickramasinghe et al, 2012).…”

In Northern Thailand, wildland fire during cold period releases large amounts of smoke and fine particles into the atmosphere. The fine particles include several persistent organic compounds such as PAHs. In this study, PM 2.5 -bound PAH concentrations in the air of nine administrative provinces, namely Chiang-Mai, Chiang-Rai, Nan, Phayao, Mae Hong Son, Phrae, Lampang, Lamphun, Uttaradit (N Thailand) were determined during the wildland fire and non-wildland fire seasons. The monitoring strategy comprised two campaigns in each season. PM 2.5 was collected using MiniVolTM portable air samplers (Airmetrics) with quartz fibre filters. Both PAHs and their B[a]P Equivalent concentrations of other urban cities around the world were significantly higher than those of northern provinces for both seasons. The average cancer risks observed at nine administrative provinces were 8.525 × 10 -4 ± 3.493 × 10 -3 and 2.558 × 10 -3 ± 6.986 × 10 -3 for ingestion rate of 50 and 100 mg day -1 , respectively. The excess cancer risks of world cities for ingestion rate of 50 and 100 mg day -1 were much higher than those of Northern Thailand for 851 and 567 times in that order. Dust ingestion was exceedingly critical to non-dietary PAH exposure in comparison with PM 2.5 inhalation. These results are in good agreement with those of previous studies, underlining the significance of indoor air quality on long-term adverse respiratory diseases in Asian cities.

“…In addition, cumulative and concentrated exposures to hazardous levels of volatile organic compounds indoors, such as those found in everyday household products like odorous cleaners, air conditioning refrigerants, and formaldehyde in upholstered furniture, may contribute to long-term negative health outcomes. Furthermore, persistent tobacco smoke can create and exacerbate health effects for residents with respiratory problems, such as emphysema and asthma (Chalbot et al, 2012;Matt et al, 2011). For residents like Don, Carla, and Frank, who attempt to manage asthma and COPD, it is important to understand how air quality in hotels and surrounding neighborhood contexts influence health management.…”

Living in Extended-Stay Hotels: Older Residents’ Perceptions of Satisfying and Stressful Environmental Conditions

This article presents findings from a qualitative study that explores older adults' perceptions of budget hotel environments as suitable places to reside and manage health. Fifteen low-income older residents from nine hotels were interviewed using qualitative photoelicitation methods. Through thematic analysis of transcripts and photographs, satisfying and stressful conditions were identified in the data. Residents described all-inclusive access, surveilled safety, supportive amenities, and livable communities to be satisfying environmental attributes. However, poor air quality, unsanitary surroundings, neglected property management, disruptive guests, and restrictive policies were environmental stressors. Implications and suggestions for practitioners working with older adults in hotels are discussed.

“…The combination of the SSS and EXS mainly contributes to the environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), which may be inhaled by non‐smokers. The analysis of the MSS and ETS gaseous fractions has been extensively studied and some experiments have been reported in the last ten years on the chemical characterization of the MSS and ETS particle phases . The chemical compositions of MSS and ETS are significantly different; both of them contain thousands of different compounds .…”

Rationale:The chemical composition of the particulate phase of cigarette smoke inhaled by the active smoker is still poorly known in spite of its importance from a health point of view. A non-targeted approach is applied to cigarette smoke particles collected on a quartz filter to obtain an as complete as possible description of this complex mixture.Methods: A home-made smoking machine including devices for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particle sampling was used. The validation of the cigarette smoking and cigarette smoke collection procedures was conducted by the quantification of some compounds by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The particles were investigated by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) directly after their collection on quartz filters by laser/desorption ionization (LDI) or after extraction with CH 2 Cl 2 by electrospray ionization (ESI). Results: The determination of the benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (from 2 to 35 μg/cigarette) and nicotine (0.68 ± 0.05 mg/cigarette) validated the used sampling method. The complementarity of the LDI and ESI sources for the cigarette smoke analysis was established. The ESI analyses evidenced polar compounds and components with a pyridine group and LDI ensured the detection of polycondensed heteroaromatic species. Finally, this methodology was employed to characterize particles from cigarettes with or without flavoring additives. Conclusions: Some insights into the composition of cigarette smoke inhaled by active smokers have been obtained. The~1750 observed features revealed the huge complexity of cigarette smoke particles and the diversity of the possible associated health issues. Both heteroaromatic and highly oxygenated compounds produced by combustion and pyrolysis have been highlighted.
