- Many people do not know, but passive smoking - inhaling someone else's cigarette smoke - almost more dangerous than the «active» tightening of the smoker - said co-chairman of the Russian anti-Advocacy Coalition, a leading specialist of the Open Health Institute Cyril DANISHEVSKY. - The side-stream smoke from the smoldering cigarette contains 4 times more pollutants than the main stream, rope smoker. The secret is that directly due to smoking at a higher temperature of the harmful substances from smoke progoraet, disintegrates, and the lateral flow below the temperature, and hazardous reagents not progorayut. They have something and get passive smokers.
«But in the areas and rooms for us to protect non-smokers from the harmful smoke: There and insulation, and ventilation», - many people think, leaving to sit in a cafe or restaurant. How reliable such protection is in reality? Further research of Russian anti-Advocacy Coalition.
The experts selected ten of the largest and most popular (according sotsoprosu) networks catering Moscow - see table on page 12 (2). To test the objectivity visited all the establishments of each network, located within or in close proximity to the Garden Ring, - all came out 50 points.
First assessed the situation, relying on our own feelings: fumy whether, how strong the smell of tobacco. Then within 30 minutes of air tested impartial machine - the device NSI SidePak AM510. The essence of his work - involving the air pump and the determination of the concentration of harmful fine particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers. The number of these particles reflects the overall air pollution, and at the same time, they are the best indicators of tobacco smoke - experts explain. Such «crumbs» easily inhaled and penetrate deep into the lungs, causing adverse health effects.
Test measure, sitting in the zone (room) for non-smokers. Then, to compare the tested «atmosphere» in areas for smokers - the method of random sampling in one of the institutions of each network.
In the top of the experience of the machine measured the amount of the same particles, reflecting the air pollution in one of the most commonly accepted notions of Asphyxiating seats - in the third tunnel Lefortovskom transport ring in Moscow in the rush hour when the speed gazuyuschih machinery does not exceed 10 km per hour.
1. Despite the fact that in the zones (rooms) for non-smokers to smoke and smell of tobacco almost imperceptibly, air pollution by harmful substances is not very different from the areas where visitors resin.
2. The atmosphere in catering establishments, where smoking is allowed, only slightly cleaner than on a busy highway at rush hour (see table). Thus, in a cafe «Moo-Moo» on the results of measurements of the average level of air pollution by only 10% lower than in Lefortovskom tunnel, in the «wood» the air is cleaner than on the road, only 15%, and in the «pure» of facilities with places for smokers - the restaurant «Il Patio» - gassy atmosphere cleaner highway a little more than half (to 60.5%).
3. The study revealed, in which networks catering the air is relatively cleaner than others, - the specialists of top anti-coalition «Clean Air» (see table).
Go to the cafe with literary and dogs name, style of barn. In the hall there is no place for non-smokers - have to go into a zone where a strong sense of smell of smoke. Feeling as if every item is impregnated resins. The hard-guessed the taste of meat in French - it seems that you eat vprikusku tobacco smoke, which becomes denser with each exhalation lord of the neighboring table.
Fortunately, in the hall for free non-smoking table, and we moved doedat dessert there. The rooms are connected cross-passages, and to smoke, there is no obstruction, unless the extract, which is barely able to clear the area by 100%. So, near the entrance to the hall for smokers, too, feel the smell. But not as much as in the area for smoking.
Restaurant Italian Cuisine «Il Patio» separate rooms for smokers and nonsmokers, separated by a corridor. However, room for advocates of healthy lifestyles in the two times less - to get there, you'll need to wait in a queue (minutes 15 - 20). Short time strolling the hall for smokers. Tobacco smoke and the spirit, of course, is felt, but to his surprise, noticed that they catch a strong smell of food.
There are non-smoking tobacco is not a drop of smell, as we have no smell. «I wonder how they struggle with the perpetrators of this idyll?» - Offers check-girlfriend and takes a cigarette. For the neighboring table beginning osuzhdayusche shushukatsya, but not aloud âîçìóùàþòñÿ. Suddenly podletaet waitress: «Oh! There is also room for non-smokers! »In her voice as much astonishment as if she has found customers for something terribly obscene. We became ashamed. «Sorry, zabylas», - is justified by a friend. The girl then tear out a cigarette, and runs with it ...
Smoking in restaurants, bars and cafes has caused great harm to the health of their employees. Studies have shown: Mortality from lung cancer among bartenders is the highest among all professions - even higher than that of firefighters. Permanent prokurennom stay in the room increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, lung cancer, asthma attacks, flu disease.
«Kofebin» - the only proven networking, where smoking is prohibited at all proved. Therefore, the air here corresponds to the average, basic level of urban air pollution, and the rate - 0.07 - may be taken as a starting point for comparing pollution «atmosphere» in other public networks.
In a number of audited facilities «Taras Bulba» and «Kofehauz» no proven smoke, because the networks were at the end of the rating, although the level of air pollution in the engine for measuring the relatively lower than that for some «competitors».
