This study was designed to determine which designated smoking area on a submarine, forward or aft, minimizes nonsmokers' exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.
A survey was administered and urine tested by an enzyme-linked immunoassay for urinary cotinine before and during a 10 d underway. There were four groups tested; submariners on boats with forward or aft designated smoking areas, with each of these groups further divided into submariners whose watch is primarily forward or aft.
There were no significant differences in urine cotinine levels between submariners whose watches are primarily in the forward section as compared with those who work primarily aft. This was true for predeployment as compared with deployment levels and whether the designated smoking area was located forward or aft.
Using cotinine as a marker, passive smoke exposure appears to be minimum. The location of the designated smoking area aboard U. S. Navy submarines does not appear to have any effect on urinary cotinine levels.
本研究旨在确定潜艇上的指定吸烟区（前部或后部）哪个能将非吸烟者接触环境烟草烟雾的程度降至最低。
在一次为期10天的航行前和航行期间，通过酶联免疫分析法对尿液进行检测，并进行问卷调查。共测试了四组人员；在设有前部或后部指定吸烟区的潜艇上的潜艇艇员，每组又进一步分为主要在前部或后部值班的潜艇艇员。
主要在前部值班的潜艇艇员与主要在后部工作的潜艇艇员相比，尿可替宁水平没有显著差异。无论是部署前还是部署期间，以及指定吸烟区位于前部还是后部，都是如此。
以可替宁为指标，被动吸烟暴露似乎最低。美国海军潜艇上指定吸烟区的位置似乎对尿可替宁水平没有任何影响。
