Studies focusing directly on tobacco smoke have tended to center on the differences in effect between smokers and non-smokers and many hundreds of such studies have been performed. In this review, we examine the current literature specifically concerning workplace exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and its impact on individuals, particularly non-smokers and never smokers. The paper deals with quantifying and minimizing ETS exposures in a working environment, the effect of polymorphisms and other genetic factors that influence health outcomes after exposure to ETS and the association of occupational ETS exposure to disease-specific biomarkers.

Introduction: Exposure to environmental factors ( air pollution and second-hand tobacco smoke) have been associated with impaired lung function. However, the impact of environmental factors on lung health is usually evaluated separately and not with an exposomic framework. In this regard, breath analysis could be a noninvasive tool for biomonitoring of global human environmental exposure.

Background: South Asians may be particularly susceptible to premature myocardial infarction (MI) owing both to conventional cardiovascular risk factors and practices distinctive to South Asia. Identifying modifiable risk factors for MI in these populations could inform prevention strategies. We have, therefore, studied conventional risk factors and other characteristics in relation to occurrence of first MI in Bangladesh.

Spending decisions by public health units (PHU) have been shown to be associated with population health outcomes. Some studies have found greater PHU spending to be associated with improved population health, while others report mixed findings, warranting further research.
