July 18, 2002: Proposed 62.1P Standard Avoids ETS Odors And Health In Nonsmoking Spaces
HONOLULU, HI — Neither odors nor health effects associated with environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) will be addressed in the future version of the ventilation standard from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
The announcement was made one week after ASHRAE announced an addendum (62o) to current Standard 62-2001, to provide design guidance for controlling odors alone in indoor spaces where smoking occurs. The addendum only relates to ETS odors in nonsmoking areas.
