Techniques to Reduce Secondhand Smoke Odors


The Canada Mortgage and Housing Web site has a nice Web page titled "Odor transfer in MF buildings" that provides in depth information about how odor occurs and what can be done by residents and managers to reduce the problem.

 

WARNING: These methods may help with the reduction of tobacco smoke, but may not totally eliminate them or reduce your risks of being harmed by exposure to secondhand smoke. In addition, no air filtration device currently available can get all the toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke out of the air according to ASHRAE or the 2006 US Surgeon General’s Report on secondhand smoke.
