文摘

Exposure to passive tobacco smoke can cause adverse effects on human health. We assessed the exposure level by analyzing hair contents of nicotine and cotinine. Our study recruited 172 self-reported non-passive smokers and 84 passive smokers. We found that passive smokers had higher concentrations of nicotine and cotinine. Content of cotinine was linearly correlated with that of nicotine in maternal hair.
