Abstract
Staff members of psychiatric facilities are at high risk of secondhand smoking. Smoking exposure was assessed in 41 nonsmoking employees of a psychiatry department before and after a ban. Subjective exposure measures decreased in 76% of the subjects. Salivary cotinine decreased in the subsample of seven subjects with high pre-ban levels (32 ±8  vs 40 ± 17 ng/ml, p = .045).
