Secondhand smoke assessment in the first African country adopting a comprehensive smoke-free law (Mauritius)

Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

A new smoking regulation came into force in Mauritius in March 2009. Environmental nicotine and particles less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5) were measured in 60 hospitality venues and shopping malls on December 2009. There was presence of secondhand smoke in 69% of the samples. The overall median [IQR] nicotine and PM2.5 concentrations were 0.05 [<L.Q.-0.17] and 20.28 μg/m3 [IQR: 13.00-59.80], respectively. The highest concentrations of both markers were found in night clubs.
