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

Abstract: This study shows that residual nicotine from tobacco smoke sorbed to indoor surfaces reacts with ambient nitrous acid (HONO) to form carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs). Substantial levels of TSNAs were measured on surfaces inside a smoker's vehicle. Laboratory experiments using cellulose as a model indoor material yielded a >10-fold increase of surface-bound TSNAs when sorbed secondhand smoke was exposed to 60 ppbv HONO for 3 hours. In both cases we identified 1-(N-methyl-N-nitrosamino)-1-(3-py… Show more

“…This suggests that the sensor is capable of measuring nicotine outgassing from the enamel covered metal surface of the chamber's interior walls. This tobacco smoke contamination of rooms and automobiles, or "thirdhand smoke," has been described (Sleiman et al, 2010) and is currently the topic of a new area of research. …”

“…Un nuevo desarrollo surgió cuando Mohamad Sleiman, químico de la División de Tecnologías Energéticas Ambientales del Departamento del Medio Ambiente de Interiores del Laboratorio Nacional Lawrence Berkeley (en inglés, LBNL), y sus colegas reportaron que la nicotina adsorbida en las superficies reaccionaba con el ácido nitroso, un contaminante ambiental que se encontró en el escape del vehículo y que producen las estufas de gas sin ventilación adecuada y la combustión del tabaco, y formaban nitrosaminas (TSNA) específicas del tabaco, incluyendo 1- 19 Hay algunas evidencias de que el NNA es mutagénico. 20 La NNK y el NNN están clasificados por la Agencia Internacional de Investigación sobre Cán-cer como carcinógenos humanos, 21 y el Programa Nacional de Toxicología considera que es razonable anticipar que efectivamente lo sean.…”

“…Los artículos de Sleiman et al 19,23 se centraban en la química; no estudiaron las implicaciones para la salud. Sin embargo, las cifras reportadas en su artículo sobre el ácido nitroso y el TSNA 19 permiten hacer un cálculo rápido que proporciona un punto de partida para los debates sobre el potencial del HTM de provocar daños.…”
