Résumé
A passive sampling device called Monitor of NICotine or "MoNIC", was constructed and evaluated by IST
laboratory for determining nicotine in Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS). Vapour nicotine was passively
collected on a potassium bisulfate treated glass fibre filter as collection medium. Analysis of amount of
nicotine on the treated filter by gas chromatography equipped with Thermoionic-Specific Detector (GCTSD)
after liquid-liquid extraction of 1mL of 5N NaOH : 1 mL of n-heptane saturated with NH3 using
quinoline as internal standard. Based on nicotine amount of 0.2 mg/cigarette as reference, the inhaled
Cigarette Equivalents (CE) by non-smokers can be calculated. Using the detected CE on the badge for nonsmokers,
and comparing with amount of nicotine and cotinine level in saliva of both smokers and exposed
non-smokers (N=49), we can confirm the use of the CE concept for estimating exposure to ETS.
The Valais CIPRET (Center of information and prevention of the addiction to smoking), is going to
organize a big campaign on the subject of the passive addiction to smoking entitled "Smoked passive, we
suffer from it, we die from it ". This campaign will take place in 2007 and has for objective to inform clearly
the population of Valais of the dangerousness of the passive smoke. More than 1'500 MoNIC badges were
gracefully distributed to Swiss population to perform a self-monitoring of population exposure level to ETS,
expressed in term of CE. Non-stimulated saliva were also collected to determine ETS biomarkers
nicotine/cotinine levels of participating volunteers.
Preliminary results of different levels of CE in occupational and non-occupational situations in relation with
ETS were presented in this study.
