烟草烟雾空气污染（TSAP）测量可以说服父母采用无烟家庭，从而减少家庭中烟草烟雾对儿童的伤害。在一项涉及 29 个吸烟家庭的试点研究中，使用 Sidepak 在 8 小时内连续监测家庭 PM2.5，Sidepak 和/或 Dylos 监测仪提供实时反馈，被动尼古丁监测仪用于测量家庭空气尼古丁一周。在动机访谈的背景下向参与者提供反馈。由于噪音水平，通过连续监测记录的家庭 PM2.5 水平并未得到参与者的广泛接受。此外，连续监测的图表显示了无法解释的峰值，通常与与室内吸烟无关的来源有关，例如烹饪、建筑或室外来源。这阻碍了关于家庭吸烟与 TSAP 之间关系的有说服力的信息的传递。相比之下，即时实时 PM2.5 反馈（使用 Sidepak 或 Dylos 监测仪）是可行的，并且提供了明确的信息； Dylos 还具有更经济、更安静的额外优势。由于反馈和保质期问题的时间滞后，空气尼古丁采样变得复杂。需要改进家庭环境中 TSAP 测量的科学性，以鼓励和帮助维持无烟家庭并保护弱势儿童。使用移动设备进行实时反馈的最新进展是有前景的，值得进一步发展，实时空气尼古丁空气监测的准确方法也是如此。
Tobacco smoke air pollution (TSAP) measurement may persuade parents to adopt smoke-free homes and thereby reduce harm to children from tobacco smoke in the home. In a pilot study involving 29 smoking families, a Sidepak was used to continuously monitor home PM2.5 during an 8-h period, Sidepak and/or Dylos monitors provided real-time feedback, and passive nicotine monitors were used to measure home air nicotine for one week. Feedback was provided to participants in the context of motivational interviews. Home PM2.5 levels recorded by continuous monitoring were not well-accepted by participants because of the noise level. Also, graphs from continuous monitoring showed unexplained peaks, often associated with sources unrelated to indoor smoking, such as cooking, construction, or outdoor sources. This hampered delivery of a persuasive message about the relationship between home smoking and TSAP. By contrast, immediate real-time PM2.5 feedback (with Sidepak or Dylos monitor) was feasible and provided unambiguous information; the Dylos had the additional advantages of being more economical and quieter. Air nicotine sampling was complicated by the time-lag for feedback and questions regarding shelf-life. Improvement in the science of TSAP measurement in the home environment is needed to encourage and help maintain smoke-free homes and protect vulnerable children. Recent advances in the use of mobile devices for real-time feedback are promising and warrant further development, as do accurate methods for real-time air nicotine air monitoring.
