摘要：
A new smoking regulation came into force in Mauritius in March 2009. Environmental nicotine and particles less than 2.5 mu m 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 mu g/m(3) [IQR: 13.00-59.80], respectively. The highest concentrations of both markers were found in night clubs. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
