“…The utility of these preventive measures related to an objective measurement can also be seen in a study that assessed cotinine levels 20. Similar results were reported in another study that measured indoor nicotine concentrations at a non-smoking location and in the space next to the entrances of public buildings 12. Another study established that opening the window to air out the car is not sufficient, considering the particle levels in the air.…”

“…It is worth noting that Spain ranks among the countries of highest cigarette consumption in the European Union and in the world (WHO, 2010). High outdoor gas-phase nicotine concentrations were previously measured in Barcelona in summer 2010 between 0.5 and 1.5 µg m −3 (Sureda et al, 2012).…”

Source apportionment of submicron organic aerosol at an urban background and a road site in Barcelona (Spain) during SAPUSS

Abstract. This study investigates the contribution of potential sources to the submicron (PM 1 ) organic aerosol (OA) simultaneously detected at an urban background (UB) and a road site (RS) in Barcelona during the 30 days of the intensive field campaign of SAPUSS (Solving Aerosol Problems by Using Synergistic Strategies, September-October 2010). A total of 103 filters at 12 h sampling time resolution were collected at both sites. Thirty-six neutral and polar organic compounds of known emission sources and photo-chemical transformation processes were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The concentrations of the trace chemical compounds analyzed are herein presented and discussed.Additionally, OA source apportionment was performed by multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) and six OA components were identified at both sites: two were of primary anthropogenic OA origin and three of secondary OA origin, while a sixth one was not clearly defined. Primary organics from emissions of local anthropogenic activities (urban primary organic aerosol, or POA Urban), mainly traffic emissions but also cigarette smoke, contributed 43 % (1.5 µg OC m −3 ) and 18 % (0.4 µg OC m −3 ) to OA at RS and UB, respectively. A secondary primary source -biomass burning (BBOA) -was found in all the samples (average values 7 % RS; 12 % UB; 0.3 µg OC m −3 ), but this component was substantially contributing to OA only when the sampling sites were under influence of regional air mass circulation (REG.). Three secondary organic aerosol (SOA) components (describing overall 60 % of the variance) were observed in the urban ambient PM 1 . Products of isoprene oxidation (SOA ISO) -i.e.2-methylglyceric acid, C 5 alkene triols and 2-methyltetrols -showed the highest abundance at both sites when the city was under influence of inland air masses. The overall concentrations of SOA ISO were similar at both sites (0.4 and 0.3 µg m −3 , or 16 % and 7 %, at UB and RS, respectively). By contrast, a SOA biogenic component attributed to α-pinene oxidation (SOA BIO PIN) presented average concentrations of 0.5 µg m −3 at UB (24 % of OA) and 0.2 µg m −3 at RS (7 %), respectively, suggesting that this SOA component did not impact the two monitoring sites at the same level. A clear anti-correlation was observed between SOA ISO and SOA PIN during nucleation days, surprisingly suggesting that some of the growth of urban freshly nucleating particles may be driven by biogenic α-pinene oxidation products but inhibited by isoprene organic compounds. A third SOA component was formed by a mixture of aged anthropogenic and biogenic secondary organic compounds (SOA Aged) that accumulated under stagnant atmospheric conditions, contributing for 12 % to OA at RS (0.4 µg OC m −3 ) and for 18 % at UB (0.4 µg OC m −3 ).A sixth component, formed by C 7 -C 9 dicarboxylic acids and detected especially during daytime, was called "urban oxygenated organic aerosol" (OOA Urban) due to its high abundance at urban RS (23 %; 0.8 µg OCm −3 ) vs. ...

“…Moreover, a common belief among smokers is that cigarette smoking in outdoor places does not affect indoor places,23 whereas a previous study indicated that SHS from outdoors settings drifts to adjacent indoors spaces 24. However, currently, few studies have evaluated the impact of Spanish smoke-free legislations in SHS exposure at home25 26 and there is a lack of information in Spain, to the best of our knowledge, on the impact of the smoke-free laws in the adoption of smoke-free homes (SFHs).…”
