Exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) presented considerable health risks to non-smokers, especially in indoor settings where ventilation systems and building design play a crucial role in the pollutants accumulation. This study investigated the effects of SHS on indoor air quality (IAQ) and the health of non-smokers in air-conditioned office buildings.
