FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) – A new air quality study says workers in a Florence restaurant that allow smoking are exposed to a greater amount harmful air particles than those working in non-smoking environments.
The TimesDaily reports (http://bit.ly/1NI9mZr ) that the study says workers in smoking-allowed restaurants are exposed to a 66 percent higher rate than the opposite. It was released this week by the Partnership for a Tobacco-Free Shoals and Smoke-Free Shoals. The results were performed by Roswell Park Cancer Institute this year.
The air in six smoke-free restaurants and six restaurants that allow smoking was tested.
An official from the Partnership for a Tobacco-Free Shoals says the level of harmful air particles measured in bars and restaurants that allow smoking was higher than the level found in forest fires.
