Living with parents who smoke predicts levels of toxicant exposure in children

Abstract The detrimental effect of secondhand smoke (SHS) on health is well known; due to various factors, efforts to prevent SHS cannot completely eliminate the effect of smoking substances, and SHS has not been sufficiently investigated among children. This study aimed to assess children’s smoke e...
