We compared a passive sampler called MoNIC (Monitor of NICotine) badge, to salivary cotinine and nicotine concentration as well as questionnaire data.
Table 2 shows summary statistics of the three measures of exposure (passive-air badge monitor, urinary benzene, and urinary E,E-MA).
Firstly, by the MoNIC (Monitor of Nicotine) badge, a passive sampling device, secondly, by salivary samples and thirdly, by a personal interview relating to duration of SHS exposure at work and outside of working hours.
