Health Effects of Exposure to
Environmental Tobacco Smoke
Final Draft for Scientific, Public, and SRP Review
February 1997
The California Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Health Hazard
Assessment (OEHHA) is developing a comprehensive health assessment on environmental
tobacco smoke (ETS). The Final Draft for Scientific, Public, and SRP Review of Health
Effects of Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke is now available. This overall
assessment of ETS includes chapters on respiratory health effects, reproductive and
developmental effects, cardiovascular effects, cancers, and exposure measurement and
prevalence. Previously released drafts addressing specific topic areas have been revised,
updated, and integrated into this draft document.
OEHHA welcomes public comment as a part of the development of this assessment. The
document Health Effects of Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke is posted on the
OEHHA website. To obtain a copy of the document, you may also contact Ms. Joyce Smylie at
(510) 540-2084. A public forum to receive verbal comments on the document will be held on
April 17, 1997 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the auditorium at 2151 Berkeley Way, Berkeley,
CA. To receive full consideration, written comments on the Final Draft for Scientific,
Public, and SRP Review must be submitted in duplicate and received by or postmarked May 5,
1997. To expedite completion, OEHHA intends to respond only to comments that raise new
issues or present new information not previously considered. Comments may be sent to:
