Using expired carbon monoxide (CO) and a test of coordination as measures of tobacco smoke exposure in a natural environmental setting where smokers and nonsmokers were segregated, results indicate that by comparison to a control group, subjects seated in adjacent smoking/ nonsmoking environments were not only exposed to similar ambient levels of CO, but also show similar physical and physiological reactions to their exposure in the form of coordination test scores, expired CO, and blood carboxyhemoglobin. While the results may not be generalized to other tobacco smoke constituents or other environmental settings, they raise questions about the health benefits of smoker segregation which future research must address.
在吸烟者与非吸烟者分隔开的自然环境中，使用呼出一氧化碳（CO）和协调性测试作为烟草烟雾暴露的衡量指标，结果表明，与对照组相比，坐在相邻吸烟/非吸烟环境中的受试者不仅暴露于相似的环境CO水平，而且在协调性测试分数、呼出CO和血液碳氧血红蛋白方面，对其暴露表现出相似的身体和生理反应。虽然这些结果可能无法推广到其他烟草烟雾成分或其他环境设置，但它们引发了关于吸烟者隔离对健康有益之处的问题，未来的研究必须予以解决。
