Abstract
To evaluate the concentration of chemical components in indoor air emitted by a non-combusted tobacco product (NCTP), particulate matter, CO, CO2, formaldehyde, nicotine and ammonia were measured in an experimental chamber. The chamber ventilation rate and the human puff number of the NCTP were based on the ASHRAE and SHASE (The Society of Heating, Air-Conditioning and Sanitary Engineers of Japan) standards. The results indicated that the increase in the concentration of any analyzed component in the experimental chamber due to the use of a NCTP in the form of an inhaler was not confirmed in this experimental condition.
